Trip Planner

Equipment

This list includes items that most anglers use during a fly-fishing trip with World Cast Anglers. Each guide carries Orvis fishing equipment, which guests are welcome to use at no extra cost. Sometimes this is a better solution than the hassle of airplane travel with fly rods. Fly selection varies with the time of year. Each guide will assist clients in selecting about a dozen flies for a full day trip as well as one new leader from the Orvis store at the start of each trip. Those clients who chose an overnight trip will want to purchase more flies and perhaps two leaders. Guides will also be able to help supplement flies throughout the trip. Please call World Cast Anglers with any questions or concerns. The Orvis Store in Jackson Hole is very helpful and can supply any last minute items. They can be reached at (307)-733-5407. Items listed in BOLD are suggested as the bare minimum to bring for your trip.
