All Instructional Trips & Schools - Contract

As an angling client I agree that:

Contract: For scheduling issues we are understanding and fair but please remember this is a business and livelyhood.

As an angling client I agree that:

1) Confirmed instructional trip dates are held by a 50% deposit per angler or full payment. Schools are prepaid. All contracted monies are redeemable for a full calendar year under the following restrictions: A total refund minus a $35 service fee will be charged for all trips & schools after the first 48 hours of purchase. (A) Refunds are not available within 14 days for Local Washington State trips. Grande Ronde trips are to be paid in full 45 days before the expedition date. If a angler can't make it the angler is responsible for his/her replacement outside the grace period, or forfeit the monies. If the client needs to reschedule before the 14 days of the local trip or 45 days for a non-local trip (G.R.), most of the time we keep the deposit for a different fishing trip within the calendar year or refund the $. If the client is within the 14/45 days it is up to the instructor to allow the deposit to be used for a different trip. (Some good dates just can't be rebooked in time to make them up)

2) I understand Dickson Flyfishing will confirm the date availability and that only my deposit will hold my date.

3) Should, in the instructor's decision, the waters become unfishable, prior to the outing the angler has the full refund option of: a) aborting the trip, the check is destroyed or Paypal is credited. b) monies can become a deposit for a future agreed upon trip at angler's discretion.

4) Should I the angler organize a group clinic. I am advised to have each member send their own deposit/money or I will collect payments from each member, before the excursion. (Schools are prepaid) If I send an instructional trip deposit for more anglers than myself, I am responsible for the each angler deposit, should that angler not attend.

Frequently asked Questions:

Can I buy a fishing license over the internet or by phone - even from out of state?

or by phone at 1 866 246-9453

Can I rent waders near Arlington?

Do you have references available?
Go to the References and Endorsements page to see some of the nice things people say about Dickson Flyfishing. We are happy to also provide references to anglers who have taken your specific trip.

Do you take out novices?
Dickson Flyfishing specialize in teaching new anglers the art and science of taking trout, salmon and steelhead on a fly.

Which waters do you boys instruct on?
The Dickson Flyfishing Calendar is set up on a seasonal basis. Winter finds us flyfishing Tarpon in the Carribean. Our instructors also flyfish steelhead on streams north of Seattle, namely; the Skykomish,Stilly, Skagit and the Sauk as well as the fabled Olympic Peninsula's Queets River. Summers are spent floating the lovely Methow River for large trout. On odd years August and September finds us skating flies for salmon and steelhead on the Skagit and Stillaguamish rivers. October is always our surface steelhead campouts the Grande Ronde River. And finally, November & December are all about the large Skagit River chum and coho salmon.

How long have you been guiding professionally?
Since the early Eighties

Do you only flyfish?
Yes. Growing up on the Stilly (flyfishing only) it is all Dennis has ever done.

Do you ever take out non-flyfishers?
Sure, first timers who want to learn to fly fish are always welcome. You will soon become a flyfisher who regularly catches fish. Even the most experienced flyfisher can learn a few tricks too (may even a lot of tricks.)

What does your trip include?
A full day with a guide/instructor either a boat to float in or transportation to the water to walk into. Chest waders are not included. (Rental from Hook, Line & Sinker 360 435 5052 or Creekside fly shop 425 392-3800). Lunches are optional on instructional trips, and the angler is responsible for appropriate licenses.

Do you float or wade?
Some rivers make more sence to walk into and some are better to float. If you have a strong preference let us know. We generally travel by raft or drift boat when floating, stopping to wade and fish each pool.

How long is a fishing day?
Generally about eight-ten hours unless you have special needs (plane flight etc.)

How do I book a trip?
Contact us by email or phone and give the time period you wish to fish, how many is in the party, and how many days you wish to fish. We will tell you which days we have available in that time slot. You finalize your selection and send a refundable deposit * (see above) before a trip) and the check or Paypal will hold your dates. Upon verbal or written confirmation Dickson Flyfishing will hold your booking day for 5 days unit we receive your deposit. We will then confirm the deposit by email, and instruct you when and where and what time, you will meet the instructor. Dates are always held, first come first serve.
