Logistics

The "Back to Basics" package is designed as a purely educational package option and although it may be possible to attempt to catch some trout as part of the day, it is not a guided fishing day, hence the cheaper pricing structure. Please note that we consistently practice "Catch and Release" (refer "Key Fishing Information") 


Please also note that during peak guiding periods booking of this package option may only be possible up to two weeks in advance
