Half-Day Float

A half-day guided trip is a great way to get into fly-fishing or hone your skills as an angler. Depending on river conditions and your preferences, guided fly-fishing takes place on a variety of rivers in the Helena/Missoula area via drift boat, raft, or walk & wade access. Half days (4-5 hours) include snacks, nonalcoholic drinks, all necessary flies, gear, and transportation to and from the river.

We'll have a pretty good time

We are proud to offer relaxing, educational and inclusive adventures on the waters and in the woods. Pretty Good Outfitters is a no-judgement zone, and a place to find all types of "success" on the river... from catching fish to feeling more confident in the outdoors.

 

We hope you'll join us for a float or workshop!

"Micah stands out as the best guide we’ve had. He’s technical, positions the boat well, and—most importantly—is a great listener who crafts a memorable end-to-end experience for his clients. We can’t wait to fish with him again."

What matters to us...

Education

We will not only teach you how to make your first cast with a fly rod and identify insect hatches, but also how to feel at ease and confident in the wild as you explore the outdoors.

Good Times

Fishing should be FUN! We find that the best fishing days aren't measured in numbers, but by living in the moment and spending quality time in a beautiful place.
