Frequently Asked Questions….
 

What is included?
Our one-day trips include a full day ( approx. 8 hours ) of guided fishing, and a lunch.   Start times will vary as season progresses, but should be determined by the guide. Please inform us of any diet restrictions when booking your trip. 
 

What do I need to bring?
Each trip is different and gear selection will depend on the type of fishing you will be doing.  Once you decide on a particular trip and confirm your dates, we will let you know what you’ll need.  You will need a fly rod with reel and line, or we can rent one to you for the day.  A complete fly rod, with reel and line can be rented for the day.
 

Must I be an excellent fly fisher?
Absolutely not. Beginner ( one with little experience in fly fishing ) or seasoned pro, we will tailor the trip to your level of experience.  For the beginner, we can  provide some casting instruction or whatever you may need to make your day enjoyable.  If you have never fly fished before, we recommend taking our fly fishing school. 
 

What time will my trip begin?
As a general rule, the guide will select your starting time which is determined by time of year and current fishing conditions.  Your day of fishing will last about 8 hours, or about 4 hours if a half day trip is selected.  Due to insurance policies and liabilities, clients must provide own transportation to stream.  May follow guide or will be given directions / map to meeting point. 

Anything Else ?
Most trips are Walk / Wade trips,,, waders are a must. We can not supply waders for anyone on a rental basis, as a matter of personal hygiene.  A vest and hat are necessary, and we also recommend a pair of polarized sunglasses, warm clothing if required for time of year, rain gear, and your camera or camcorder.  For you fly-tyers, please check with us for current patterns.  And of course, you’ll need a fishing license.  Your Pennsylvania fishing license, as well as any other fishing necessities that you might need for your trip is all available here at our shop.  Additional meals before and after your trip will be your responsibility, and there are several enjoyable restaurants within a very short distance.  There are also the usual fast food places all within a half-mile of the Hatch.
