What will travel look like this summer? I wish I had an answer for that but luckily visiting the Rocky Mountains for a trout fishing excursion, is a lot easier than trying to get to Kamtchaka. So far we are planning for a business as usual approach for the summer in light of the current state of our country / world and this crazy virus. In all honesty, it’s been hard to promote travel to the general public while finding the need to stay sensitive to the virus which is affecting all of us, however, I couldn’t think of a better trip to take this summer than this. Total seclusion from the public on your own ranch. Meals prepared in your cabin or delivered to you . Private fly fishing on our waters with no one else in sight. We have also taken all the necessary steps to provide a safe environment for our customers. We have always strived to keep the cabins and lodges in best and cleanest condition for our clients. Rest assured, we have COVID-19 protocols in place. We will be providing masks and hand sanitizers to any groups that would like to take advantage of these items along with point and shoot thermometers for checking the staff or yourself if you feel concerned he or she might be feeling under the weather. Our house keepers will take the extra time to ensure every surface is disinfected after each group. This is a crucial step in stopping the spread of this virus so when you walk in the door of your cabin, it will be safe for all who enter.

It seems as if interest in domestic travel has increased over the past few weeks. People are realizing that traveling outside the country to populated areas is a bad idea. I hate it for the other business out there. The guided fishing industry is a challenging business, even in normal climates,  but passions for the sport and sharing those experiences keeps us powering through the tough times.
