Lahontan
Cutthroat Troutt

March 1 to June 21 October 10 to December 7

Lahontan Cutthroat Trout are the largest of the cutthroat species. They have been called “The last survivors of an ancient race of super trout”. The World record was landed in Nevada at 41 pounds. There were even some unsupported claims of fish in the 50-to 60-pound range. Washington state’s record is an astonishing 18 pounds.

Westslope
Cutthroat Trout

JUNE 22 to October 8

The Stehekin River is a wildlife sanctuary for these wild and robust Westslope Cutthroat Trout. With its gin clear waters, dry fly fishing is world class on the Stehekin River. Only being accessible by boat or plane gives these exclusive waters solitude and peaceful enjoyment. The glacial runoff seen in the water gives the river beautiful hues of blue and green that make it appear tropical.

These amazing, acrobatic fish are often a fly fisherman’s favorite to target.

Carp

May 1 to June 22

If we were to design a perfect catch-and-release gamefish, what would we want? The chance to sight-cast to big fish that will  fight us into our backing. Fish that are challenging, yet plentiful, so that we’d have multiple shots at big fish, every day. And we’d want them to live in our backyard. And eat flies. Welcome to fly fishing for carp. A good pair of polarized sunglasses are critical for this trip.

Customers reviews

"If you want to like fishing more than you already do, book a trip with Chad Ashby!!! He navigates his raft through white water like a pro, and is all about safety. I booked a trip with him at Stehiken and straight out of the gate we were catching some big dogs! As a first time fly fisherman, Chad was super patient and had me casting like a pro in no time. He is absolutely passionate about fishing and might get more excited than you do when you catch a fish haha. Best fishing trip of my life, 10/10 recommend!"
Zach Friend
"My husband and I had the most wonderful experience fishing with Chad, we did a full day trip. Chad was very attentive to me as I was the beginner fisherman on the boat, wade fishing and just handling the fly rod. We caught several fish, great lunch on the beach and beautiful experience on the river. If you're looking for a memorable fishing trip, Chad's your guy. Keith and I had the best time. Thanks for wonderful time on the river."
