Fishing Outfitters
My goal for this page is to list a variety of
outfitters that are willing to work with disabled clients. Please keep in mind
that these places are not completely set up for every disability. Make sure
that you discuss any special accommodations that you require directly with the
outfitter to ensure a good trip and a pleasurable experience.
If you are an outfitter who would like to be included in this page, please contact
me. If you are disabled and have used an outfitter that you would like to recommend,
please contact me as well at don@afarcry.info.
Be aware that this list will not be complete, so contact me with any specific
requests.
