- Any modification that results in a date change or reduction in the number of guides on a reservation is treated as a cancellation.
Our cancellation policy applies to all cancellation reasons, including unforeseen circumstances, health issues, travel delays, bad weather, and global events.
Montana weather and water conditions can vary; we do not cancel or reschedule trips due to inclement weather such as rain, wind, or snow.
- Watch the weather and bring clothing that will keep you warm and dry when challenging conditions are in the forecast.
- Hot weather can affect fish activity, so we start our days very early in such conditions.
- If fishing in the rain or starting around 6 am during the summer heat is not for you, we recommend booking with us on short notice once there is a clear weather picture for your preferred date. Expect limited availability for a short-notice booking between June 15 and September 15.
Travel insurance is a great tool that we use regularly when traveling ourselves.
Full refunds will be issued if the guide or outfitter cancels a reservation due to weather or health issues that create unsafe conditions.
We reserve the right to issue deposit refunds on a case-by-case basis.
