2 Day Overnight Trophy Smallmouth Adventure (2/4)
2 Anglers $1700
This float is truly an adventure and not for the weak. 6lb Smallmouth are here. The remoteness, river structure, the lack of pressure and this location's history makes this float truly amazing. This float is very dependent on water levels. At times assistance will be needed in maneuvering the boat through tight spots. This includes being out of the boat and helping your guide lift the boat over ledges, rocks and skinny water. All meals are included. 10-14 hours of fishing each day.
Trout Floats
Wild Trout floats in Western MD on the North Branch of the Potomac River put trout in your hands without being in Montana. There is a reason why many anglers call the North Branch "The Madison of the East." If you are a streamer angler this float is for you. If you aren't a streamer angler we can make you one. Many float options on the NB are private stretches only floated by ETFF.
Regular Float for 1 or 2 Anglers
500/600
Our floats on the North Branch of the Potomac are truly a special experience. Anglers routinely land Brown and Rainbow Trout over 18" with the average size trout being 14". We have 4 different float options on the North Branch to put you on the water that is fishing the best. This river is a streamer anglers paradise. So if you like to chuck meat, we speak that language.
Extended Day For 1 or 2 Anglers - (12-14 Hours) June-August Only
600/750
Are you a die hard angler that thinks ending a float at 5pm is a sin? Then the Extended Float is for you. Lunch and Dinner included and we often combine Trout and Smallmouth floats in the same day covering 17+ miles of river in a day. We start around 6am and finish between 8-9pm. This float option is only available in June, July and August due to the daylight needed for the longer day.
