A weekend retreat at Mt. Springs Lodge focused on championing our Dadvocate Facilitators and equipping them with the tools to further their impact through Family Lines workshops and trips.

This is a retreat primarily for Dadvocate Facilitators considering "Rod to River" for the groups of fathers they lead.  Come experience with your own son or daughter what we're asking you to consider for others!  You'll work together to build a fly rod and then put it to the ultimate test on a fishing expedition.  It's quality time invested in your kids; creating, building, and adventuring together! 

These are 2 to 3.5 day “build it and fish it” combination trips exclusively devoted to one or two families only.  Space is limited as we only block out a handful of these each year.  Booking priority and special pricing is available to those Dadvocate Facilitators interested in partnership with Family Lines.

This more than your average float fishing trip.  It's a kayaking adventure through one of the wildest and most remote sections of backcountry in the U.S.!

You can only get here by float plane!  We target small wilderness streams in the Bristol Bay region of AK to chase HUGE rainbow trout as well as salmon, grayling, and more.  Angler success is high and this is also one of the best locations to see Alaska's Brown bear in their natural habitat.  It takes some effort to get to the AK backcountry, but you will NEVER regret it!

This river, its fish, and the break away together will provide you with a shared father/child adventure that you will never forget.  Join us on a hunt for one of anglings most prestigious trophies!
