If a fishery is involved, then this is the time to explore the quality of the fly fishing experience. The process involves discussions with staff at nearby fly shops, hiring professional guides to periodically fish the water throughout the due diligence period and meetings with the state department of fish and game. But the tough work of casting to the best holes is always handled personally by Stillwater principals!
