But there’s so much more to the entire EXPERIENCE that makes wilderness fishing truly unforgettable in so many ways…far beyond the outstanding fishing! Your sense of accomplishment. You’ve successfully hiked to and thrived in wilderness camp for a long weekend to a week or more, miles from a road, and returned rejuvenated with an incredible personal victory. You'll enjoy the same extraordinary sense of accomplishment as seen on the faces of these young women completing a week of hiking and wilderness fly fishing.
See the smile from beginners catching their first fish with a fly, learning to clean and cook it in the wilderness. Perhaps doing so with a rod made by her grandfather? It doesn’t get any better! We all know the best way to build lifelong interest in fishing & fly fishing is to be successful catching fish, which invariably happens on wilderness lakes. Only her father was wearing a bigger smile following her accomplishment.
Wilderness lakes are a great setting for beginners to learn. They can start by trolling a dry fly or streamer, progress to casting over a shoal with no obstacles on the back cast, and advance to casting to shoreline cover from the float tube with ever increasing accuracy.
Too old for a wilderness hike? Not with the 3 pound ultralight float tubes carried by this group in their 60's. They finish their week in the wilderness able to tell fish stories with more truth than hyperbole, and return to the trailhead knowing that age really is only a number. 
Then there's the satisfaction from the comradery & teamwork. Sharing flies that worked well, gathering firewood, cleaning/cooking fish, preparing the first cups of hot, fresh brewed morning coffee, and more. It’s a LONG list that adds to everyone's extraordinary wilderness experience when working together.
Your time in camp builds profound connections that last a lifetime. Connections to the wilderness...the extraordinary beauty, the solitude, a full moon and stars that make midnight as bright as noon, crisp lake water transparent for 30 feet, the whistle of an osprey & the splash of it smacking the water to grab a fish, the glow and warmth of a campfire all connect you to an unforgettable, special place, and most especially, to those who are with you. The stories and laughs around that campfire, connections built with family in conversations never interrupted by cell phone, text, or social media, it's an endless list that creates your lifelong memories of your wilderness experiences.
At Wilderness Lite we hope it is your time for ultralight float tube fishing and your wilderness experience...for building your wilderness connections. Connections to family, to friends, that last a lifetime and that keep you going back to the wilderness year after year to fish, and SO MUCH MORE!
