Nothing rivals the excitement, beauty and fast-paced action of a float trip down the Madison River! Whether you've been fishing the Madison longer than Quake Lake has had still water, or it’s your first day in a pair of Gore-Tex Waders, a float trip down the Madison River with a Blue Ribbon guide is the best day of guided fishing that money can buy. Our guides spend more time in a drift boat every year than most people spend in their automobile.
Float trips are our most popular trips, and after spending a suspenseful day covering every nook and cranny of eight to 12 miles of fish-filled water you’ll see why. From learning how to read water to executing the perfect reach cast, a day in a drift boat is not only an adventure, but the perfect environment to learn the art of fly fishing.
In addition to the mighty Madison, our guides frequently float the Yellowstone, and occasionally the Missouri and Beaverhead as well. So, the next time you’re in Yellowstone Country, treat yourself to something really special and reserve a float trip with a Blue Ribbon guide. It’s an experience you won’t soon forget. Float trips are full day only and available year round. They include guide service, lunch, soft drinks, and transportation from Blue Ribbon Flies.
