One Day Fly Fishing Guide (Experienced)

Each year ROW Adventures seeks to hire qualified and motivated individuals to guide fly fishing trips on some of the premier rivers, streams, spring creeks and lakes in the northern Idaho and western Montana region, including the St. Joe, North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene and Clark Fork rivers. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in all aspects of fly fishing related to the region, including equipment, techniques and entomology, but prior guiding experience is not required. Fishing guides join a small, growing professional staff committed to providing quality, memorable fishing experiences and enriching guest experience through meaningful interpretation on natural and cultural history. ROW hires individuals committed to excellence in hospitality and safety, who support conservation efforts, desire to grow and learn, and who seek to set the high water mark in their professional and personal lives.
