Flyworks is one of the only local guiding services that offers float trips.
In Minnesota, we can float any one of several sections of the Root River, from above Preston on the South Branch and Parsley Bridge on the North branch, to down below Rushford on the main Branch. I’ve floated it all. Some of it offers incredible fishing for trout and smallmouth, and some of it offers incredible scenery of limestone bluffs jutting a hundred feet out of the water. On the right day, it might offer both.
The boat will be comfortable, safe, and easy to fish out of with both front and rear casting decks with hip braces. Fishing from the rear is just as good as fishing from the front - often times better as the person in back gets a chance at a fish the person in front missed.
A full day float is a full day event due to limited access to the river. Suffice it to say, you won't be back for a 5pm cocktail.
