WHAT TO EXPECT
The float is the classic Western way to fish a big river. Our full-day float trips are between six and eight hours, fishing structure your boots can't reach. Your guide rows, you cast. Lunch is a packed riverside stop. The trip ends at the take-out. You'll throw streamers, dries, and nymphs depending on what's working, and a day in the boat puts a lot of water past your fly.
