My guides and I believe in trying to control every aspect of your guided fishing trip because we can’t control weather or the fish bite. Our vehicles, boats and tackle are all meticulously maintained and of the highest quality. Our lunches excellent. Chuck Hawkins is a FFF Certified Fly Casting Instructor and most of our guides are US Coast Guard Captains. We are patient teachers and knowledgeable guides. This attention to detail and the love of what we do is why we were awarded the Orvis Endorsed Guide Service of the Year in 2010.

We guide primarily full days, 7 to 8 hours on the water. We also offer half day trips, depending on the time of year. Please refer to our page “booking a trip” for more detailed information. All of our prices include the use of rods and reels and flies for one or two anglers. Depending on location and time of year, we may be in one of our western style drift boats, a jet sled or a smaller raft to get us into smaller waters not readily accessible. Wading trips are an option but rarely the best way to cover water. They can be great ways to run a trip focused more on learning than fish catching.

Hawkins Outfitters is not a shop or a lodge. We don’t want to be tied to one river or area or sell you equipment you don’t need. We are also happy to refer you to our lodging partners when booking a trip. My guides and I don’t have other jobs, we guide. On our days off we fish! Learning new water and/or new techniques is our lifeblood.

Hawkins Outfitters stands ready, willing, and able to take you fishing on any river, anytime.
