The Madison continues to fish well. Morning streamer bite has been hit and miss but they're on hoppers and flying ants in the afternoon. Fish the current in front and behind big rocks. Right down the middle has also been productive.

Nate - Thank you for putting together another awesome trip, this time down the Missouri River. Drew and Will were great guides and they worked their butts off to keep us in big fish all day. Given the high temps were in the upper 50’s and were constantly 18 - 22 mph; this did not slow these two guides down at all! They continually were changing patterns and depths. They continually rowed us across and back up stream to keep os on fish all day long. Thank you, Jim, Deborah, Tina and Terry

Had a great trip on the Missouri River drift boat fishing with Shelly. Extreamly knowledgable & helpful for a couple of first time fly fishermen. Caught my first Rainbow off of a fly rod. Highly recommend for the beginner or veteran fisherman.

Had a really great time fishing the Yellowstone, Upper Madison on drift boats. Caught nice browns and rainbows. Wades the Gallatin and caught nice fish on dry flies. Our guide was Matt and he was great to work with not to mention he’s a trained chef so the lunches were fantastic. Highly recommend these trips. The booking process was simple and effective thanks to Captain Experiences.
