Come rain, snow, or high water, we almost always run our trips. But if there are insufficient reservations, we reserve the right to alter the departure date or place, or to cancel a trip. There will be a full refund for any trip canceled by Tight Lines. Our financial liability is limited to the amount paid to Tight Lines and shall not cover any other costs incurred by trip members.

Trip Insurance
Trip insurance is a good choice. It pays to be prepared for the unexpected. If we cancel a trip, you receive a full refund. Low-cost travel insurance is highly recommended and provides emergency evacuation, essential coverage including sportsman's equipment, trip cancellation & interruption, medical expenses, baggage damage, and much more.

Guide Gratuities
When you are budgeting for gratuities (tips), figure in 15 percent for an average level of service from a guide, but not less than 10 percent. Guides get a large percentage of their income from tips. Of course if a guide makes an exceptional effort - fishing an extra hour or goes beyond the norm or working especially hard to put you on fish - Tipping more than 15 percent makes good sense. Tips are greatly appreciated for a job well done.

"The wilderness scenery is breathtaking and for a person that has never camped out the camping is so comfortable and relaxing."
