Guided Fishing
Whether you’re an
expert angler, or have never picked up a fly rod, a
guided trip with us will be a day you’ll remember.
If you’re new to the fly fishing, let us help de-mystify
the sport (it’s really not that difficult). If
you’re an experienced angler, we’ll show you what fly to
use and where to throw it. Hopefully you’ll learn
a new trick or two as well. Our guides are accomplished instructors
as well as guides,
and will show you a great day on the river. We like to
be out there when the fishing is good. If that means
getting on the river early, or staying out until dark, we’ll be there. You’ve hired us to help
you catch fish, and that’s our main goal. Along the way
you’ll enjoy some great scenery, food and company.
What to expect
If you have never been on
a guided fly fishing trip before, you may be a little
intimidated. Don’t be. No matter what your skill
level, our guides have seen it. Many first time anglers
assume that guides spend every day fishing with expert
anglers. While that’s sometimes true, most of our time
is spent with fishermen of novice to intermediate
ability. You can expect our guides to do everything
possible to make your day a success. That may include
getting on the river before the crowds, or spending some
time working on casting before the trip begins. It
won’t include yelling at you for blowing a cast or
losing a fish. Catching fish is our primary goal, but
not at the expense of having a good time
If you’re an experienced
fly fisherman (or woman), we’re here to help you
improve, no matter how much experience you have. Let us
know what techniques you like or don’t. If you prefer
boat fishing to wading, tell us. While we can’t make
Pale Morning Duns hatch or the wind stop blowing, we’ll
do everything we can to tailor a guide trip to your
preferences. We want you to catch fish, learn more
about the sport, and have an enjoyable day.
Our Guides
Our guides all specialize in fishing the Missouri.
We live on the Missouri and guide it 100+ days a
year. Each of them may favor a different section
or method, but all are intimate with the entire river
during all seasons. All of these individuals are
in high demand every season, and need to be booked well
in advance.
All guides own their own drift boats. Rafts have
no place on the Missouri, and no serious Missouri guide
would use one. Drift Boats have the stability
required for long casts, and the ability to anchor in
deep moving water. Your guide will also provide
all flies and terminal tackle (leaders, tippets, shot,
etc.), but they always appreciate the well prepared
angler who is willing to supply some of their own
tackle.
Your guide will also have a cooler loaded with ice,
lunch and non-alcoholic beverages. If you want
some beer or a glass of wine with lunch, you will need
to provide it yourself. Make sure and let us know
if you have any dietary restrictions or preferences.
We encourage our guests
to communicate their desires and expectations to our
guides.
