PUMA II (floating lodge)

The original custom built lodge/mother-ship was retired in 2006 and a new custom built yacht  was ready for clients during  the 2009 season.  The 60 ft. yacht, PUMA II handles 6 fisherpersons in double occupancy cabins and a crew of 5.  Each cabin has its own bathroom and shower.  PUMA II travels the entire lake fishing the various rivers and bays from skiffs pulled behind the PUMA II-a most efficient and relaxing way to fish this magnificent lake.  Thus you can fully experience some of the most incredible dry fly lake fishing in the world to cruising and rising Rainbows, Browns, and Brooks.  The average size of the Rainbows and Browns in the lake is 2 - 7 lbs with double digit fish not uncommon and true monsters possible.  The salmon species are also present periodically for your enjoyment.  Fishing this lake has been called "the best flats fishing one can experience in fresh water" by several of our clients that shallow salt water fish - AND IT IS USUALLY DRY FLY FISHING!  Besides the beautiful scenery, fantastic fishing and the ability to move the lodge to protected bays and river mouths there are two additional advantages of the PUMA - the fisherperson that is unable or prefers not to walk and wade only has to walk a few feet  to the back of  PUMA II and get in the skiff and go fishing.  AND the fishing is only a few minutes away-no long auto rides!
