RESERVATIONS:

Should be made as soon as possible due to the fact that prime parts of the season fill up quickly. A deposit of 50% is due within 7 days of the reservation to hold your dates. The balance is due 30 days prior to reservation date. Failure to do so could result if forfeiture of those dates and the deposit. We do except credit cards, Visa and MasterCard, personal check, cash, and money orders.

All persons 16 years or older are required to purchase a fishing licence from a state designated outlet. A list of outlets can be found on NHF&G web site which is listed on my links page under Sports persons interest.

Cancellations:

You can contact us at any time to cancel your reservation at anytime. However the deposit is not refundable, nor is the full balance unless we can fill those dates with another party. . It may, however, be applied toward a future outdoor excursion, or you may find someone to take your reserved dates. Unfortunately no booking is complete with a written acknowledgement of reading our policies.

Occasionally the guide, due to inclement weather or unforeseeable situations makes cancellations. In this event we will re-book with you for a mutually convenient time. We have no intentions of an outdoor excursion in a Nor’easter, but please bring waterproof and warm gear in anticipation of some of the nasty weather that New England can go through during the seasons. Hiking & backpacking trips may be delayed due to weather, but once underway must be completed as scheduled with no refund. Your making of a reservation implies your acceptance, and knowledge of our cancellation policies.
