We’re Travis and Jenni, and we’ve been sharing the thrill of bowfishing together for over twelve years. My passion for fishing and bow hunting started early, and about 15 years ago, I discovered bowfishing—truly the best combination of both worlds. On our very first date, Jenni took her first shot at bowfishing and was instantly hooked, celebrating with a joyful “WHOOP! WHOOP! FIRST FISH!”

Our adventures have taken us beyond Idaho to several other states, enriching our expertise in some of the most fruitful waters. We’ve participated in numerous tournaments, securing several wins and recognitions. It’s taken us thousands of hours to master the waters of Idaho, ensuring we know the prime spots to bring our clients.

As our love for bowfishing deepened, we saw a chance to share this exhilarating experience beyond our circle of friends and family. We’re thrilled to guide newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts alike through the fun and excitement of bowfishing that we cherish so deeply!

About Your Trip

Thrilling Bow Fishing Adventures Await You!

Immerse yourself in the exhilarating world of bow fishing, a unique blend of skill and sport that offers an unforgettable outdoor adventure. Perfect for group events and celebrations, our guided tours on the Lower Snake River promise an experience like no other.

Bowfishing can be a challenge, often fraught with the frustration of poor equipment and inexperienced guides. It disrupts what should be a thrilling pursuit into a cumbersome
ordeal. We turn that frustration into fun and triumph. As licensed outfitters with over 20 years of experience specializing in bow fishing, we know the Lower Snake River like the back of our hands. We ensure a superior experience with less hassle, thanks to our unique local expertise

We have right and left-handed bows. Vader, Muzzy, and Mathews are the main bows used. We also use Muzzy, Cajun, and Zebpro reels. Clicky sticks have replaced most of the push button reels, and make for a more enjoyable experience. Aim low!

Day time trips are more flexible on the start time. Night trips are typically departing 30 minutes before sunset
