Float Boat Trip

Life jackets on. Anchor up. Anticipation building.

Climb aboard and drift into the heart of the Pocono Mountains’ best fly fishing on our guided float trips. These adventures take you down picturesque rivers, where deep pools, slick runs, and riffles hold wild and stocked trout waiting for a perfectly placed cast.


Ideal for anglers looking to cover more water and access stretches unreachable by foot, our float trips offer a relaxed, scenic way to experience the region’s rich fly fishing opportunities. Whether you’re dialing in your drift from a casting brace or learning how to read water on the move, every trip is customized to your skill level and curiosity.


From sunrise starts to golden hour hatches, we’re here to help you unlock the rhythms of river fishing—and maybe net that personal best along the way.

Gear Tips

Waders & Boots:

Waders and boots are available for all trips. While not required, I recommend wearing them on cooler days, especially when stepping in and out of the boat. If you're bringing your own boots with metal studs, no worries—I’ve got rubber mats in the boat to protect the flooring. While you can fish the entire day from the boat, there are also great opportunities to hop out and wade if you're up for it. Pack accordingly, and we’ll make the call riverside.

Rod & Reel:

All gear is provided, but you're welcome to bring your own. I recommend a 5 or 6-weight rod with a balanced reel and matching line. If needed, I’ll supply a fully rigged setup tailored to the day’s conditions and your skill level.
