Tight Lines Guide Trips

Tim and BrianTight Lines Fly Fishing Company prides itself in being a full-service fly fishing shop. From the first day we opened our doors in Feb. of 2001, we were committed to offering much more than just a retail shop selling equipment, flies, clothing, and accessories. Tight Lines has always offered guided trips for trout, smallmouth bass, and other species (on request) throughout Wisconsin. We have also served as an outfitter, offering hosted trips to Montana, Belize and the Bahamas for those interested in pursuing western trout or bonefish. We strive for the absolute best outdoor experience for our clients; not only can our guides take you to the fish, but they can teach you to fly fish. They are all First Aid and CPR certified as well. Service and safety are our two most important goals.

We sincerely appreciate your business, and thank you for your support.

A $100.00 deposit is required for each booked day per guide of any trip, and deposits are not refundable unless your guide cancels a trip in the event of extenuating circumstances (usually weather related). If a client cancels a trip, the deposit may be applied to a future trip the same year if another day can be booked.

At the time of booking, a specific guide may be requested if he is available, otherwise a guide is usually assigned several days prior to a trip according to availability. Your guide will contact you several days before the trip to arrange a meeting time and place. He will also discuss details of the trip, including appropriate gear to bring, tackle needs, and food preferences.
