Testimonials

Boats and equipment are top notch. I would recommend Jeff and his guide service to any of my friends, family, or other fellow anglers looking for a memorable day.

Justin PickettGink & Gasoline

Our trip to the Missouri River fishing with Living Water Guide Service and guide Shafter was the best trip we have had in Montana. The hospitality and expert guide service along with the great experience sets Living Water above and beyond others. We were able to fish, laugh, and share great stories with Shafter. Capt Shafter is more than a fishing guide, he makes the fishing experience memorable. I would recommend Shafter and Living Water guide service to anyone wanting to experience fishing in Montana!

Brian Withrow

The Living Water guide service speaks for itself. The water comes to life when fishing with Jeff and his guides. I have fished with him several times and most recently with my son (a beginner at fly fishing) this summer. His guides are amazing with people of all skill levels, the equipment is top notch, and the lunches were great. My son left the trip saying, “Dad, I only want to catch giant trout from now on!” They spent time instructing, they were so patient, and Jeff helped me land my biggest trout on dry flies this trip! What a rush! Living Water truly is a guide service that brings new life to the fly fisherman within!

Tim Erpeling

Had an absolute blast with owner Jeff Lattig on the Missouri! From myself guiding in Colorado and fishing all over, 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. The Living Water Crew is top notch and will give you the experience of a lifetime! The best part… Hopping on the oars and watching Jeff fling some string to a few risers!

Living Water Guide Service truly deserves a five star rating. Jeff (Owner) and his guides are professional and knowledgeable. I have fished with over 30 guides throughout my fishing lifetime and I can honestly say that Jeff is the best. Hard working, excellent fisherman and very knowledgeable regarding fly patterns and fish behavior. Jeff provides excellent food and his boat and gear are immaculate. His demeanor is easy going and his teaching skills are excellent which provides a positive environment while fishing. Jeff is everything you should expect from an Orvis endorsed guide. I highly recommend Jeff and his guides.

Brett M

Living Water guide service was simply incredible. We saw a large variety of fish in the net and the gear was top notch. Jeff even packed a gourmet lunch for us. Many memories were made and Jeff put us on fish almost every cast. I look forward to showing off all of the great pictures he took of the beautiful fish we landed.
