CANCELLATION POLICY

The Guided fly fishing business is based on the PRE arrangement of guides, equipment, location requirements and lodging to coincide with the day or days you the client has chosen to fish. These types of businesses can only operate if those dates are POSITIVE.

There is the issue of water quality i.e., high flows, turbidity etc. that can change in a matter of hours. We can sometimes predict this happening and booked dates will be cancelled or moved to open days later in the season or next season. This is done upon the advice from your guide be it myself or one of the guides we use. During the winter months when this may happen I will call the clients prior to their dates and inform them of fishing conditions that may affect their trip. Your nonrefundable deposit will be transferred to another open date should the river be unfishable upon the booked date.

The dates booked are held with a $100 non refundable deposit per boat per day paid by check mailed to Brazda’s Fly Fishing, and a valid CC number supplied at time of booking to hold the days. The client may re-schedule up to 45 days prior to their date. If you cancel within 45-30 days of your scheduled date you will be charged 50% of the total trip costs. Cancellations within 30 days of scheduled date the client is responsible for the full price of their booking and will be charged on the Credit Card number supplied at booking. Remaining payment for your dates will be paid with a check, cash or credit card at the end of your fishing dates.

Also, you will never be charged a guide fee for rain outs. Thank you Jeff Brazda

Annie come to us from Napa California. She first arrived as a fishing guest in 2011 and felt she could give the Bogy House Lodge an upgrade with her cooking skills...As usual she was correct and has helped us bring the Lodge to the top of the list among Steelhead lodges on the west coast. Nick named Big Fish Anmnie for obvious reasons she is as good with a fly pole as a she is a lodge chef.

Aaron O'Leary

Aaron O’Leary, a Washington local who has quite the list of guiding accomplishments. Spending four seasons in Alaska has got him a head guide position at a remote camp in the Bristol Bay area. Aaron guides summer steelhead with me on the Columbia River tributaries in the fall and spends the winter and spring chasing chrome steelhead on the OP. He will be joining me for his fourth season guiding on Olympic Peninsula, an absolute master on the spey rod Aaron has been in the seat of a boat since age 15 and has traveled as far as New Zealand in a personal quest for all things trout. Aaron is on the fast track to becoming a world class fishing guide, with the patience of Jobe.

Nate McDonough

Nate is my duck hunting buddy and also a lifelong fishing guide and co-manager of Bristol Bay Lodge in Alaska, voted best fly fishing lodge in America many years running. Nate is a tireless spey angler and has mad boat skills. He's been obsessed with steelheading since a very young age, when he was toted around in his father's packframe up and down steelhead rivers. A signature tier for Idylwilde, Nate is equally passionate about fly tying and enjoys time at the vise creating new patterns. Utilizing many of his skills Nate provides a lot of the graphics and many of the photos on the website. He is certainly an accomplished Guide and instantly knows his way around any fishing lodge.

Andy is whom we all look up to when we need to know about things like Tenkara or Chek nymphing.

I doubt that theres a species of fish on this planet that he is not versed in, latin or english...Andy attends colledge in Missoula and presently resides in Wall Walla. He is no stranger to the Clearwater or Snake River Steelhead and Chinook.
