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. 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.
