Rental seats will remain the same price of $3.00 per seat, per day.

Safety Tips: Wear life preservers. NO more than 3 people to a Regular size Jon boat. Do not put anchors in water during swift water movement. Know the river. If you are uncertain how to properly navigate the North Fork River, we strongly recommend hiring an experienced guide.

Not Included: fishing licenses, taxes, gratuity, drinks / lunch and one time surcharge of $6.00 for fuel.

Guided Fly Fishing Trips include all the above plus flies, leaders, and instructions. We suggest that you bring waders.

Fishing guides are classified as independent contractors and are employed by the renter/guest. Gene's Resort is retained by the renter/guest as the booking and collecting agents. Gene's will satisfy the guide's requested fee. A deposit is required for guided trips. Cancellations of any guided trip must be made within two weeks. Full customary charges will apply to "No Shows" or "Late Cancellations" as guides require full payment when booked.
