Float Trips
We use a 14' NRS Sport Raft equipped with a custom fishing frame, with bow and stern casting platforms. Two seats are highly elevated for increased visibility and better presentation, and an anchor system allows us to remain still to target specific areas of the water. The raft has plenty of room to accommodate two anglers for a full, comfortable day on the water.

- Flies
- Personal Instruction
- Food & Beverages

Waders and/or Boots are available for trips at a rate of $10.00 per day, per person.

For trout trips, anglers must have a fresh water fishing license and trout stamp. For small mouth bass excursions, anglers must have a fresh water fishing license. These can be obtained at your local sporting goods store, Wal-Mart, or online by visiting the State Wildlife websites on the right.
