CANCELLATION POLICY
Being a small business guiding on Oregon’s finest waters, cancellations affect us greatly. When WTO reserves your fishing date we allocate precious resources to that time frame. Each season affords us only small windows to maintain our company as a small family run business thriving amidst the ups and downs of NW fisheries. Cancellations received 60 days in advance of the trip date will receive a full refund. Any cancellations received less than 60 days from the trip date we will do our best to reschedule your trip if possible but last minute changes are often difficult as we are booked well in advance and deposits will not be refunded. We recommend purchasing trip insurance to protect you against unexpected changes to your travel plans. When weather and water conditions do not allow us to fish we will refund your deposit in full or reschedule your trip to an agreed upon fishing date.
