Is Brigadoon catch and release only?
Definitely! Every possible precaution is taken to protect and preserve these magnificent trout. We are strictly fly-fishing, catch and release only.

What weight rod do you recommend?
A five weight is just about perfect. Most use an 8'6" (or 9" for more the more experienced angler) with a five weight forward floating line.

What flies both wet and dry work best at Brigadoon? And when?
In the spring and fall the dry action is terrific! There are some spectacular mayfly hatches so parachute adams, cahill, and caddis have been very successful. Smaller flies work well too. (Size 12 - 16) Later in the season nymphs, woolly buggers, pheasant tails. We recommend that you speak with your guide a few days prior to your visit for the latest hatch information.

Do you have a fly shop on the premises?
Yes. Brigadoon Fly Shop has a number of custom rods and reels and a full selection of premium hand tied flies. In addition we carry a full line of Brigadoon gear - hats shirts, vests anything the well-outfitted angler needs!

Do you rent equipment and waders? If so, what are the rates?
Yes. Equipment can be rented from the Fly Shop. This is very convenient for guests who are traveling without their gear or beginners who might not have equipment. Rates are: $40.00 per day for afull out fit including rod, waders and boots;$25.00 for the rod only.

What is the best time of year for fishing?
All seasons offer exceptional fishing opportunities.

Must you stay overnight to fish Brigadoon?
No. Day only fishing is available year round. We recommend staying overnight for the full experience but do not require it. We offer both full day and half-day slots for the upcoming season with a four-rod limit per weekday and six-rod limit per day on weekends.

Do you recommend a guide?
Highly. Even though guides are no longer required for experienced anglers, it is mandatory for all beginners to book a guide for their visit. We are happy to book a guide for you upon request. ALL anglers must book in pairs!

What are your hours for both the half-day and the full day?
We fish from 9:00 Am until noon and then take a mandatory break for lunch, resume fishing at one and fish until 5:00 PM. An eight-hour day of fishing has seven hours on the water. Half days consist of four hours and you can choose either the morning or afternoon session.

Are meals provided?
Full Day anglers are generally provided lunch by their guide. Dinner is not provided for overnight guests but there are many great restaurants with ten miles of the Lodge. Hill Top, our new lodge, is also equipped with a full kitchen and grill deck for personal cookouts and dinners. Chefs or Catering can be easily arranged.

What are fishing guests expected to bring?
Guests are not expected to bring anything except themselves and a big smile! Shorts or seasonal gear is all that is recommended. Even summer nights can be cool so do bring a sweater. The guide and rental equipment packages can take care of the rest
