Guided trips on Washington water.

Private, guided fly-fishing out of Cle Elum, Washington. Float or walk-and-wade. Half day or full. Pick your day and we'll take care of the rest.

The philosophy

The right trip for the day you want on the water.

Every trip is private — you, your group, one guide. No strangers on the boat.

Choose float or walk-and-wade. Half day or full. We handle the gear, the flies, reading the drift, tying knots when your fingers get cold. You handle the cast. That's the whole deal.

Before you book

What people ask first.

Do I need a WDFW WILD ID before I book?
Every angler on the trip must have their own WDFW WILD ID number. You can grab one in minutes at fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov. You don't need it to book — but you will need it before the trip, and each angler completes a separate waiver with their ID.
What's the price for two or three anglers?
Same as one. Every trip is priced per trip, not per person. One booking reserves the whole boat (float trips, up to 2 anglers) or the whole guide (walk-and-wade trips, up to 3 anglers).
What's included and what should I bring?
Included: Rod and Reel, Flies, Leader, Tippet and More… plus instruction. Full-day float trips also include lunch and non-alcoholic drinks. Bring: Valid WDFW WILD ID, WA fishing license, waders, wading boots, polarized sunglasses, layers, sun protection, water bottle.
What if the weather's bad?
We fish through most weather — cold, rain, snow are fine and often the best fishing. We reschedule for lightning, unsafe river conditions (high water, ice), or wildfire smoke. Reschedule at no cost; no-shows or same-day cancellations are non-refundable.
Can kids come along?
Minimum age is 10, and anyone under 18 must participate with a parent or legal guardian. A parent or guardian signs the Smartwaiver on behalf of any minor.
How does booking work after payment?
After checkout you'll get: (1) a booking confirmation, (2) a request to submit participant info and WDFW WILD IDs for each angler, (3) a separate Smartwaiver for each angler to sign, (4) final meeting point and trip-specific packing notes before your date.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Fishical Pursuit is operated by Neubauergroup LLC dba Fishical Pursuit, licensed by Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) and covered by commercial guide insurance.
