SUMMARY:
These famed rivers, steeped in fly-fishing lore, are prime brown and rainbow fisheries. We should have mostly dry weather, with daytime temperatures in the 60s and 70s and evenings in the 50s and 60s. Last fishing light is at 7.30-8.00 PM. We invite you to relax by the fire, after your fishing day ends, with good friends in a convivial setting.
This trip is a no-hassle event for LIFRs, with super fishing prospects, world-class food, and cozy-warm beds for all.

TIME OF ESSENCE: 
The quicker you sign-up, the better chance you have to secure one of 17 two-person rooms. 

PAYMENT POLICY:
Please Pay Trip Co-Captain Pete Yuskevich $155 cash, for your slot. Tell him your roommate preference. As soon as we fill, Pete will put all others on a priority stand-by list.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
If you pay and must cancel, we can accept cancellations with refund up to Jul6 6, 2004. 
After that you must find a replacement fly-fisher (and have that person pay you $155).
