Insurance charges may apply to items over $300 due to the extra cost. It's usually pretty nominal and well worth it. Shipping charges will apply to sale items.

Returns: Mail order merchandise can be returned for sizing or order discrepancies within 5 business days of receipt of packages. You will be reimbursed minus the actual initial shipping charges.

Only exchanges will be allowed on sale items with discounts less than 30% but they must be accompanied with the store receipt.

2008 POLICIES

FOR GUIDED TRIPS, LODGING, BOAT/EQUIPMENT RENTALS, FLY FISHING SCHOOLS, FLY TYING & ROD BUILDING CLASSES, PRIVATE LESSONS, SHUTTLES, AND MAIL ORDER:

GUIDED TRIPS Cancellation/Refund Policy

Guided trips require a 50% deposit that is collected and applied on a per guide day basis. Your guide day(s) will not be confirmed until deposits are received. If cancellations are made more than 30 days before your reservation, a full refund of your deposit less a $25 per day reserved service charge will be returned to you. If cancellations are made between 7 and 30 days of your reserved date(s) your deposit will be applied to a future trip later that year or the following season. If cancellations are made within 7 days of your reserved date(s) the entire deposit will be forfeited and a portion of that will be used to pay to the scheduled guide(s) in lieu of lost wages and expenses incurred. We do not ordinarily issue cash refunds for cancellations made within 30 days of your reservation. We operate in all safe weather and water conditions, therefore inclement weather or water is not a reason to cancel or receive a refund. (Often times "bad weather" is the best fishing weather! Please keep this in mind.) Failure to show or failure to cancel in a timely manner will result in you being liable for the entire cost of the reservation and our resultant collection of that amount from you. All reservations are secured with a valid credit card. Please be certain of your dates to avoid complications and service charges. Travel insurance is recommended on extended trips.

If we are unable to provide your reserved guide service due to unforeseen events, your entire deposit will be refunded and we will grovel for forgiveness.

Special policies for Smith River Guided Trips

The fabulous Smith River Guided Trips require a 50% deposit and dates will not be confirmed until the deposit is received. The remaining balance is due by February 1st of the year of your trip. If cancellation is made before February 1st, 75% of the deposit will be refunded with 25% of the deposit being non-refundable. We operate in all safe weather and water conditions, therefore inclement weather or water is not a reason to cancel or receive a refund. Failure to show or failure to cancel in a timely manner will result in your being liable for the entire cost of the reservation and our resultant collection of that amount from you. All reservations are secured with a valid credit card. Travel insurance is highly recommended.

If our Smith River outfitter is unable to provide guide service on the Smith due to unforeseen events (mainly low water), your deposit may be applied toward a future launch date or other fishing alternatives may be performed. Our outfitter will discuss the options with you.

----------

LODGING Cancellation/Refund Policy

Lodging reservations require a 50% deposit that is collected and applied on a per night basis. The balance is to be paid upon check-in. If cancellations are made more than 60 days before your reservation date, a full refund of your deposit less a 5% service charge will be returned to you. If cancellations are made 30 to 60 days of your reservation the deposit will be applied to a future trip later that year or the following season. If the cancellation is made within 30 days of your reservation, the deposit is forfeited. We do not ordinarily issue cash refunds for cancellations made within 60 days of your reservation. We operate in all safe weather and water conditions, therefore inclement weather or water is not a reason to cancel or receive a refund. Failure to show or failure to cancel in a timely manner will result in your being liable for the entire cost of the reservation and our resultant collection of that amount from you. All reservations and rentals are secured with a valid credit card.

Please be certain of your Check-In Date and Check-Out Date as charges are applied on a per night basis. Travel insurance is recommended on extended trips.

Check-In Time between 1:00pm and 7:00pm. Check-Out Time is by 11:00am.

Some of the Lodging may have special polices set forth by their individual owners. (i.e. Minimum stay length, special deposits, Montana Bed Tax in addition to their nightly rate, etc..) Those policies will be listed in the "Rates" section of their listing on our Lodging section on our website. Some rates may change throughout the year but once you are booked for a lodging, your rates are locked in at the price at the time of reservation. (Unless the price drops, in which case you will pay your balance on the lesser rate.)

----------

Boat and Equipment rentals require a 50% deposit that is collected and applied on a per day basis. If cancellations are made more than 30 days before your reservation, a refund of your deposit less a 25% of deposit service charge will be returned to you. If cancellations are made between 7 and 30 days of your reserved date(s) your deposit will be applied to a future rental later that year or the following season. If cancellations are made within 7 days of your reserved date(s) the entire deposit will be forfeited. We do not issue cash refunds for cancellations made within 30 days of your reservation.

*All boats & equipment must be back to the Craig store by 7:00pm or the Helena store by 6:00pm on the last day of rental, unless other arrangements are made & paid for ($5/hour late return fee) at the time of rental.
