Float fishing trips make up the bulk of our guiding days and for good reason. Float fishing keeps you over fresh fish with long drag free drifts while you sit back and relax. Our float fishing trips start by meeting your guide at one of our fly shops or being picked up at your desired location. We’ll gear-up and head out to your river of choice or the river your guide says will best meet your expectations. With hundreds of floatable miles of water, the options are virtually endless for both full or half day trips. Typical drive times range from twenty minutes to about an hour.
On full day excursions expect a hearty riverside lunch, refreshments and about 6-8 hours on the water. While on half days we provide light snacks and drinks during your 3-5 hours of fishing. On all float fishing trips you’ll gain plenty of local knowledge about the water, hatches and techniques not to mention continually covering new water and fish.

LEGENDARY REVIEWS
Why Our Clients Love Us
Hands down the best guide service in Missoula.
"John and Terri run a phenomenal company top to bottom. Hands down the best guide service in Missoula. They employ outstanding guides and wonderful human beings. Fished four days with BRO on the Dearborn and Blackfoot. Chris and Francisco are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and patient (sorry Chris for all the flies I lost). They’re trout whisperers, with an uncanny ability to read the water and put me on great fish. Been coming to Missoula for six years and always fish with BRO. Leaving tomorrow and already looking forward to my next trip with BRO."
Ryan Darr
True pros at the helm
"BRO is one of the best outfitters, a well run group that sets you up for success. We had a great day on the Upper Clark Fork river. Our guide Chris was excellent, and he helped us get the most out of our day. We were prepared for the weather- which was a mixed bag of rain and sunshine, and cold and warm at times. We caught a lot of nice fish, loved the scenery and overall experience floating that area with a true pro at the helm."
Bill Davis
Patience & Expertise
"I have taken two guided trips with BRO. I did a wading trip with Kurt last year and I just did a float with Dan this year. They each had their own unique styles but I enjoyed their patience and expertise. Kurt is a good guide to request if you are a beginner. He is very patient and focuses on technique. Dan recognized that I had enough knowledge to just let me go and do my thing. He jumped when he needed to but let me do my own thing."
Joe Gonzalez
We will do this again (and again)
"We utilized just about every service BRO provides and had a great experience across the board. We purchased waders from their online store to pick up for our guided trip, I had them set me up with flies and advice for some personal wade fishing, and we used them for guided trips on the Blackfoot for my wife, my two sons, and me. Their communication & customer service is fantastic. Both of our guides were excellent. They were patient with us as beginners, and got the entire family into many trout. They were knowledgeable, professional, and made our days enjoyable from start to finish. We will do this again (and again)."
Brandon Bubak
Another awesome trip with BRO!
"Another awesome trip with BRO! My wife and two of my daughters got to enjoy their first float trip with James and Chad who were great with them and got everyone on fish! We really enjoyed the scenery on the Blackfoot and would definitely do it again. Highly recommend BRO!"
