All of our float trips take place on various stretches of the Arkansas River. We utilize the numerous designated access points along the river to ensure that we are fishing the best water for that day. At our guide meeting every morning we will discuss trip location based on water levels, clarity, hatches and guest preference. We can be fishing the fast riffles downstream in the canyon for big rainbows or chasing hungry browns on a mellow trip through Salida. And for the adventurous angler, we can fish through Browns Canyon National Monument providing the scenery, rapids and deep holes.
