Arkansas River

Half-Day

Float Fishing

An Arkansas River trout fishing trip is the quick ride to a lot of action! On the Arkansas River, your guide will be a combination of a fly fishing guide and a whitewater master. A Fly Fishing float trip on the Arkansas River is very fast paced, it will be non-stop casting and non-stop action from the time you step in the boat! The half-day float trip will test your casting ability, however, it is typically the perfect duration for most anglers. We operate Morning, Afternoon and Evening launches specific to season (inquire for more details).

Trip Reviews

Educated us on becoming better fisherman!
★★★★★
“ Cody did an excellent job taking us down the Arkansas River late in the season during low flows. Cody made sure that we had the right flies on throughout the trip to give us the best shot at getting hits, and educated us on becoming better fisherman to our request. His ability to maneuver the boat around the stream allowed us to focus more on the fishing instead of looking for rocks.”
- Jacob Sargent

Top notch!
★★★★★
“ Very good whitewater and fly fishing guides. Top notch!”
- Brandon Welch

Non stop action!
★★★★★
“ Non stop action! The float trip is the way to go if you want to fish the entire river”
- Tim Lubis
