Rates, Availability and Booking INFO

LATE FALL and EARLY WINTER 2023 

(10/15/23 - 12/31/2023) 

(NE IOWA or Special Designated Areas in MN ONLY )  

After the Wisconsin and most Minnesota streams close in mid-October we turn our attention to NE Iowa. The days are shorter, the start times are later, and finishing earlier.

The only package offered from October 16 through December 31 is a modified full day. Our day will consist of about six hours of NE Iowa Driftless fishing fun, including a premium mid-day snack package and beverage. 

Overnighting? While there are some options in Waukon or Decorah Iowa we recommend staying in downtown La Crosse, WI, where there are multiple national chain hotels and a great variety of restaurants and entertainment options along the banks of the Mississippi River. Grab a coffee in the lobby as you will be picked up at your hotel for the scenic 40 to 50-minute drive to some terrific NE Iowa streams.

ONE or TWO PEOPLE - $350

DUSK AND DAWN (April 15 - October 15, 2024)  

Fishing is always better later in the day and earlier in the morning. The "DUSK and DAWN" package is our most popular option, putting us in the streams when the fish are most active. We will fish the late afternoon until dusk on day one and the earlier half of the day on day two. It also makes for the perfect one-night Driftless getaway any time of year. 

(Monday - Thursday) One or Two People - $400

(Friday, Saturday, Sunday) One or Two People - $475

HALF DAY (April 15 - October 15, 2024) 

About four hours of Driftless fly fishing. Either early morning til lunch or later afternoon til twilight options are available.

FULL DAY (April 15 - October 15, 2024)  

Eight to nine hours of Driftless fly fishing in multiple streams with a break for the included park or streamside meal. Either early morning through later afternoon or mid-day through twilight options are available.
