Camping River Trip

Have you ever thought about making a camping trip out of your next fly-fishing trip? More Fly-Fishing Outfitters are now starting to offer a Camping & Fly-Fishing Guided Combo Trip for a lot of reasons. Camping on the same river you plan on fishing has many benefits. For example, accommodation can be cheaper, the location is more convenient, and one can spend time learning all stretches of that specific river!

There are two ways to do a Camping & Fly-Fishing Guided Combo Trip. This includes bringing their camp gear on the boat and camping on the river as they float down, or having a more permanent base camp along the river. Atlas Outfitting has a base camp along the river because it allows for more flexibility, and commodities. Check out a few of the riverside campgrounds we use on the Blackfoot River in Montana here!

Being on the river for your accommodation with Atlas Outfitting can be a lot more convenient than staying at a lodge or hotel because one doesn’t have to drive in the morning to meet the guide having the probability of getting lost in the dark. In addition, we provide a professional chef to provide the best meals for you on and off the water. Lastly, staying committed to one river on a fishing trip is like spending a week in a city vs. an overnight trip. One can learn the river more, understand it fishery better, and fish in every section of that river. Many times, different sections of river have different opportunities for style of fishing, fish numbers, and size. Camping and staying riverside can enhance many people’s experiences because it is often harder for the standard individual to go out camping on their own because additional gear, planning, and research is required. Instead of making a tradeoff where one wants to fish for a single day, why not stay a few days, enjoy the pros of camping, and get to know what that river has to offer from top to bottom!

Keep in mind, if one is on the edge for giving camping a try, sharing the experience with Atlas Outfitting is a good idea. We prioritize safety, less planning is involved for you and it is a great a way for one to dip ones toe into the idea!
