  "fishingSeasonsNarrative": "My guiding year on the Clearwater River is a dynamic pursuit of its world-renowned anadromous runs. The season kicks off with Spring Chinook, typically gracing our waters from May through July, offering anglers the chance to battle these hard-fighting, exceptional-eating fish. As summer transitions to fall, the legendary B-run Steelhead begin their powerful migration. From late August through March, these giants, averaging 13 pounds with many exceeding 20, provide thrilling opportunities for both gear and fly anglers. While the prime Spey and fly-fishing window for steelhead is September through November, die-hard anglers can find success throughout the winter months when conditions permit. My approach shifts with the seasons, from side-drifting and back-trolling for salmon and steelhead in the fall and winter, to traditional Spey tactics and indicator fishing as the weather cools and then warms again.",

Full-day outings include all tackle and instruction in your chosen technique.",
