3/4-Day Float Trip
Have you ever left the river with that feeling that you needed just a little more time to figure out a cast or technique? Well, now we have a great float trip option that addresses that feeling. The 3/4-day float trip is up to six hours of fishing and allows you plenty of time on the water to enjoy the day without feeling like you "left a little something out there." The 3/4-day trip does not include any food, but feel free to pack some snacks or a sandwich for a quick bite to eat while fishing. The 3/4-day float trip is perfect for anglers that might want to just fish for 6 hours straight. 3/4-day float trips include beverages, fly rods, waders, terminal tackle, flies, and transportation. Please keep in mind that guide gratuity and fishing licenses are not included in the 3/4-day float trip.
