Living Water guides the Missouri River out of Craig, Montana, drift boat guides and jet boat captains who fish this water every day of the season. That focus shows in the team we’ve built and the water we know, including the Land of Giants, a private canyon section most guides never reach. Orvis-endorsed. Craig-based.
Jeff Lattig – Owner | Outfitter
eff is a husband, father, and outdoorsman with over a decade of experience as a professional guide and outfitter. Having guided anglers from oceanside tarpon to the wild rivers of Montana, he brings a patient, teaching-forward approach to every day on the water.

David Morton – Captain | Guide
As comfortable on the oars of a drift boat as he is running a jet boat through the Land of Giants, David is one of the more versatile guides on the team. What you’ll notice is that he shows up prepared and stays invested all day. Every client, every trip.
John Henneman – Guide
John has built a well-earned reputation as an exceptional instructor and guide on the Missouri River. Patient, observant, and dialed into the details — clients leave his boat fishing better than when they got in.
Will Curney – Guide
Will has been fly fishing the Missouri River since the late 90s and moved to Montana full-time to guide. Whether you’re a first-time angler or a lifelong fisherman, he’s a great coach and a natural teacher.
Ryan Lattig – Captain | Guide
Ryan is a U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain and the kind of guide who takes the whole day seriously — not just the fishing. His shore lunches have become something of a legend among returning clients, and for good reason. If you’re in Ryan’s boat, bring your appetite.
Lee Coyle – Captain | Guide
Lee has guided just about every corner of Montana, but the Missouri River is where he spends most of his time. Guiding the Land of Giants in his jet boat and below Holter Dam with spey rod teaching anglers the art of the swing. When you fish with Lee, expect calm, patient, and dialed in. Lee delivers days filled with learning, laughs, and big trout.
Rain Keating – Guide
Rain guided the Flathead and the Green River in Utah before the Missouri got its hooks in him. The big trout and the technical flat water suited him perfectly, and he hasn’t left.
Off the water you’ll find him somewhere out West chasing upland birds with his Brittany or on the ski hill.
Trent Brown – Captain | Guide
Trent specializes in the Land of Giants and is known for his larger-than-life personality and love for big attractor dry flies. A day in his boat feels like a day on the water with a good friend who also happens to know where every fish lives.
Shafter Johnston – Captain | Guide
Shafter cameto Montana for the Missouri River and the bull elk, and stayed for both. Before Craig he fished the Florida Keys, the Everglades, the Carolinas, and Louisiana — saltwater country that gave him a technical foundation most freshwater guides don’t have.
That background shows on the water. Shafter is precise, observant, and quietly effective.
Jeff Parker – Captain | Guide
“Parker” is a veteran Missouri River guide whose boat you don’t want to be behind. With a lifetime of experience, he’s honed his skills across a wide range of fisheries—from Alaska to Chile, California to Arizona, and throughout Montana. Whether he’s running a jet boat or rowing his drift boat, Parker is dialed in to every nuance of the Missouri River system.
