Everything provided except: sleeping bag, personal gear, fishing gear and license, rain gear. We do all cooking and cleaning. We will take you riding every day if you wish, or you can fish, hike, relax or do whatever you like.
HIGH COUNTRY FISHING TRIPS
This is a great opportunity to fish the pristine and difficult to access headwaters of the Florida River, deep in the San Juans. This is brookie paradise–prepare for excitement! We also fish spectacular high mountain lakes for browns or an occasional rainbow.
