The Best Way to See Our Waters

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.

Our guided trip with Blackfoot River Outfitters was phenomenal! Our guide's expertise and passion made the day unforgettable as we caught more fish than we imagined and soaked in Montana's breathtaking scenery. If you're considering a guided fishing trip, trust B.R.O. to exceed your expectations!

We are pet-friendly

Bring the dog 🐕

Some of the best days on the river have a dog in the boat, so skip the sitter and bring yours along. If they're easy around water and content to ride between runs, they're welcome on your guided trip. Just let us know when you book so your guide's ready for them.

At Blackfoot River Outfitters, we offer a personal and intimate fly fishing adventure tailored just for you. Unlike charter services with large groups, our trips ensure individual attention and customization. Whether you seek solitude, family bonding, or an adventure with friends, our expert guides make your trip truly memorable.
