Missouri River Fly Fishing Guides
Living Water is an independent Orvis-endorsed outfitter based on the Missouri River near Craig, Montana. We guide full time on one of the greatest tailwater fisheries in North America.
Our team of guides specialize in Missouri River float trips and jet boat access to the Land of Giants, a remote canyon section below Hauser Dam that holds some of the largest trout on the Missouri. They know this water, the hatches, the seams, the holding lines through every season. Come see it with them.

“If you’re looking for a fly fishing trip of a lifetime, no need to look any further. Remarkable fishing, great guides and spectacular scenery. Already booked for June 2026.”
— Diane & Scott, North Carolina
“Absolutely epic two days with Living Water. Crushed massive brown trout and rainbows on the Missouri, then headed out to Land of the Giants — it definitely lived up to its name. Biggest fish we ever caught on the fly.”
— Dillon
“I have fished with over 30 guides throughout my lifetime and can honestly say Jeff is the best. Hard working, excellent fisherman, very knowledgeable, and his demeanor makes for a positive environment on the water.”
— Brett M.
“Jeff is one of the nicest, most patient guides out there — and you will learn a ton. The mighty Mo really lives up to the hype, and you shouldn’t do it unless you’re with Jeff or one of his guides.”
— Nelson Oxley, Flylords
“This is my favorite fly fishing experience. The guides were supportive and instructive for all skill levels. We loved Living Water Guide Service and have already booked for next year.”
— Kathy & Steve
“Before our trip, my wife and I had never flyfished for trout and neither of us had ever been to Montana. John was very knowledgeable, gave clear instruction, and was extremely patient with us learning. It wasn’t long before we had both boated our first trout — they were much larger than I anticipated. I highly recommend Living Water Guide Service.”
— Joey Putnam
“My dad and I have had multiple fly fishing trips to Montana and I can honestly say this year’s trip with Living Water was the best one yet. The personalized service and tailored approach allowed us to customize our trip on the fly depending on conditions — which differentiated Living Water from other guides in the area.”
— Davis Tice
“Had an epic day on the Missouri with these guys. Trip of a lifetime. David was our guide and we couldn’t stop catching monster fish. Definitely recommend these guides.”
