White River Experience

Join First Watch Fly Co for a hosted experience on the White River, where fishing meets exploration. This trip is built for individuals, families, or small groups looking to spend intentional time outdoors through guided fly fishing, hiking to waterfalls, and optional mountain biking throughout the region.

From wade or float trips on the river to time spent off the water, each day is designed to balance learning, adventure, and connection. Whether you are chasing trout or exploring the surrounding landscape, this experience brings together everything the White River has to offer.

Lake Erie Steelhead 

Steelhead trips are about more than the fish. They are about timing, conditions, and showing up ready when everything lines up.

With First Watch Fly Co, this hosted lodge-style experience on the Lake Erie Tributaries puts you in the right place at the right time. Spend your days walking tributaries, reading water, and targeting steelhead in their seasonal runs, then return to the lodge to reset, learn, and prepare for the next day.

This is built for individuals, friends, and groups who want to experience steelhead fishing the right way.

"I had a good time, I didn't know it was so nice out here or that these streams existed in Iowa. I thought you did a great job teach....I need more practice"

Dave, Iowa

Loved the chance to learn a new technique on a new stream section

 

What stood out the most on the trip?

I did not know you could catch fish this big on a fly rod on flies so small.
