About Your Trip

Meet up on the Mighty Mo (Missouri River) for an awesome float trip chasing Monster Rainbows and Big Browns on a blue ribbon tailwater with a small local group of guides.

Expect big, and very calm, moving water with large, easily spooked Rainbow and Brown Trout. Just the sound of the line hitting the water can scare away these fish, so be prepared to make some smooth casts. Once you get down the technique you can expect 20 plus inch Trout.

On this half or full-day excursion, Nate will row you where you need to be in a maneuverable drift boat as you take in the beautiful scenery. From here he'll give you some of his expert fly-fishing tips and let you try your luck. Drift boats allow anglers to cover a larger area and access places that may be unsafe for wading. Whether you're new to fly fishing or not, the guides are eager to teach and will get some fish on your line!

He holds a USCG Near Coastal Captain’s License and has guided everywhere from Alaska and Wyoming to the legendary freestone rivers of Montana.

His team—which includes Samson, Ben, Aurrora, Mike, Michael, Cody, and Jon—is equally dedicated to helping guests enjoy unforgettable days on the water.

Driven by the belief that life’s greatest regrets come from the things we don’t try, Ikaika and his crew are here to make sure your Montana fishing trip is the kind you’ll remember for years to come.
