The Story

Living Water Guide Service is an Orvis-Endorsed Outfitter located in Helena, Montana. We offer both traditional drift boat and jet boat trips on the Missouri River and her reservoirs.

We are one of the very few outfitters to offer private access to the Land of Giants section of the Missouri River through the Gates of the Mountains Marina. Aptly named, it is a specific stretch of the river that is revered for its abundant and massive trout. Here, anglers have the chance to encounter some truly impressive fish, often exceeding sizes found in other sections of the river. As a result, the Land of Giants has become a premier destination for serious anglers in the state of Montana.

Our team of seasoned guides are all licensed captains and would love to share their time, patience, and experience with you as you enjoy a day on the river. Regardless of skill level, our guides can help you grow as an angler and provide opportunities to get lost in the beauty of Montana.

Highlights:

  • Brown and Rainbow Trout
  • Missouri River / The Land of the Giants
  • Regardless of skill level, our drift and jet boat guides can help you grow as an angler and provide opportunities to get lost in the beauty of Montana.
  • Rates start from $600; April-November

Orvis is pleased to offer our travel customers access to two valuable services: Global Rescue travel membership and IMG Signature Travel Insurance℠.

Region

The Missouri is formed at the confluence of the Madison, Jefferson, and Gallatin rivers, near Three Forks, Montana. Fly anglers are most interested in the Land of the Giants section below Hauser Dam and the famed blue ribbon stretch beginning below Holter Dam. The Missouri River system is a thriving tailwater, boasting approximately 6000 fish per mile and prolific insect hatches.
