The Rivers

We provide first class equipment to make sure day is a comfortable as it is productive.

Trinity River:

Fish Rite McKenzie Drift Boat — Ask professional guides why Fish-Rite is their chosen drift boat. Superior handling and comfort they say, plus one less obvious advantage: The bottoms. Only Fish-Rite builds its drift boat bottoms and chines to take years of use and abuse, employing T6-6061 aluminum, the highest tensile strength aluminum made. In rough water, that's comforting to know. The Fish-Rite McKenzie is "The Cadillac" of drift boats. Nothing tops a tough bottom! (Paul also has propane heaters installed to take the chill off those cold winter mornings.)

Montana Boat Builders Freestone Classic 13 is a traditionally styled drift boat that is configured for two anglers. The Classic features forward and rear bench-style oak seats with gear trays, our high-backed Wood and Rope guide seat, fore and aft steam bent oak knee locks, and forward fly deck. (The 13' Classic features no aft seat.) Ash oars and the Straight Line anchor system are standard. All Freestone Classic models feature our full Kevlar and honeycomb bottom. The chines are further reinforced with Bi-axial fiberglass, both on the inside and the outside. The exterior finish on the bottoms is 1/4" of high-density polyurethane for abrasion resistance. The interior finish is a Bristol finish with non-skid Speed liner on the floors.

Fall River:

Two 14' and one 12' Valco Aluminum Pram comprise our fleet on the Fall River. These 60-inch wide flat-bottomed boats provide the room, stability and requisite size to carry two anglers with all the necessary gear to access the entire Fall River Valley system. All boats feature Fish Rite swivel seats, Minn Kota electric trolling motors and Evinrude 15 HP four stroke outboards.
