Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

    Nate - We had a fabulous trip down the Madison River on Thursday. Ryan and Matt were phenomenal guides! Both worked extremely hard to put us on fish; changing patterns as needed and crossing the River to keep us in the seams. Thank you, Jim Deborah, Tina and Terry

    Our day with Nate’s guide Patrick was an awesome experience. Patrick is a true professional, keeps things simple for beginners and was a pleasure to get to know. The experience would have been great even without catching anything but his knowledge of the Madison resulted in several catches including brown and rainbow trout and several whitefish. Great experience!

  • ★★★★★
    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.
