About Your Trip

Cover more water and experience some of the Truckee River's most productive trout habitat during a guided fly fishing float trip. Floating allows you to reach stretches of river that see less foot traffic while giving you the opportunity to fish miles of riffles, runs, seams, and deep holding water throughout the day. It's one of the most effective and enjoyable ways to experience this world-renowned trout fishery.

These trips are best suited for intermediate and advanced fly anglers looking to elevate their skills while targeting wild rainbow and brown trout. As you drift downstream, your guide will position the raft for productive presentations while sharing local techniques for reading moving water, choosing flies, managing drifts, and adjusting to changing river conditions. Every float becomes both an exciting day of fishing and a hands-on learning experience.

All equipment is available if needed, including fly rods, reels, flies, waders, and boots, making it easy to travel light and focus on the fishing. With a maximum of two anglers per raft, you'll enjoy plenty of individualized instruction and ample opportunities to fish quality water throughout the day.

If you're looking to maximize your time on one of the premier trout rivers in the West while learning from an experienced local guide, this float trip delivers an unforgettable fly fishing experience.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
