On every trip

Non-negotiable standards

Always

Barbless hooks

Every hook is pinched before it hits the water: faster releases, less stress on fish.

Always

Fish stay wet

Minimal air time, wet hands and quick photos with the fish near the water.

Always

Rubber nets only

Gentler on the slime coat and better survival than knotted nylon.

Summer

Warm water protocols

Above 68°F we fish deeper, shaded water and mornings, and book half days only from July 20 to August 15.

Always

Leave no trace

We pack out all trash, respect private land and avoid spawning areas in spring and fall.

Always

Proper revival

Every fish is held upright in the current until it swims away on its own.

Beyond the boat

Organizations we support

Watershed

Blackfoot Challenge

Ranchers, tribes, agencies and anglers protecting the watershed Norman Maclean made famous.

Clean water

Wild trout

Trout Unlimited Montana

“These rivers gave me everything. A career I love, a life I’m proud of, and more beautiful moments than I could ever count. The least I can do is give them back in the same condition I found them — or better.”
