Yellowstone River Outfitters float trips

float trips

Fishing from a boat is a wonderful way to access our bigger rivers. In an average full-day we generally cover between 10-15 miles of river allowing your flies to cover a lot of water. in our drift boats and fishing rafts, an angler fishes from the front and back while the guide gives instruction and rows in the middle. of course, the main reason we float the river is to target fish; however, float trips also offer great OPPORTUNITIES to view wild-life, take pictures, and enjoy the natural beauty of this place while relaxing.

often times groups have more than two anglers. not a problem, we are happy to book another guide to create a "multi-boat" float where the boats can fish the same section of river and meet up for lunch. 

we primarily float the yellowstone river, but do float other rivers such as the boulder, bighorn, madison, and missouri rivers.
