CANCELLATION POLICY
If we have to cancel a trip due to severe weather or water conditions, we will either reschedule your trip as possible or provide a full refund of your deposit - your choice. If you cancel a trip with more than three weeks notice, we will refund your deposit. However our guides will be prepared to fish if it just raining. You should be too. If you cancel with less than three weeks notice, we keep the deposit but we can reschedule your trip at the earliest mutually convenient date during the same calendar year.

PLACES TO STAY
Places to stay on the water are very limited. Island Cove Marina has a motel and a few cabins. Blue Water Resort is excellent, but is about 40 or 50 minutes from the areas we routinely fish. We frequently recommend visitors review hotels near the near the Chattanooga Airport and Interstate 75. There is a very wide selection with lots of restaurants nearby and it is within 15 or 20 minutes of most places we fish. Talkin' Tackle Lodge on Hixson Pike offers 3 dorm-style rooms for anglers (not on the water), with an adjoining bait/tackle shop. You can also review private listings on VRBO.com, but review CLOSELY to insure they are in a reasonable proximity of Chattanooga.
