Guided Wade Fishing Trips

The Hands-On Approach

Wade trips completely change the pace of the game. Stepping out of the drift boat and into the river allows you to slow down, dissect specific pools, and focus heavily on the nuances of reading the water.

Wade fishing is a highly educational, tactical experience. It requires stealth, careful mending, and precision casting to fool selective trout. We frequently utilize the stunning freestone pocket water of the Gallatin River and the walk-and-wade sections of the upper Madison for these hands-on days. If you want to deeply improve your standalone angling skills, this is the trip for you.
