Frequently Asked Questions

We are based out of Boise. We are license on the Snake River from Walter's Ferry, south of Melba, all the way to Brownlee Reservoir. We are constantly exploring this entire section so we can meet guest where is best for them and the experience they seek.

Every participant is required by law to have a valid Idaho fishing license before the trip begins. It is the responsibility of each guest to obtain their own license prior to arrival. If you join us for a night charter, plan on purchasing a 2 day license to be able to fish past midnight.

No. Bowfishing only requires an Idaho Fishing License.

Yes! We provide all the necessary bowfishing equipment, including bows, arrows, reels, and safety gear. Just bring appropriate clothing, a valid Idaho fishing license, and be ready for an unforgettable night on the water. Your main responsibility will be to wear the proper clothing to match the weather.

Not at all! Our trips are designed for everyone, from first-time shooters to experienced outdoorsmen. Before we leave the dock, our guides will provide a complete safety briefing and show you how to safely and effectively use the equipment. We love teaching first timers!

Our charters exclusively target invasive common carp and legally approved sucker species. We are committed to responsible conservation and strictly prohibit shooting protected or non-target fish species. We will guide every guest in fish identification.

We can accommodate up to 4 guests. We have a two-guest minimum. Each trip also includes two guides to maximize gear assistance and catching fish!

Safety is our top priority. Every trip begins with a mandatory safety briefing covering boat safety, bow handling, and shooting procedures. Our guides remain with you throughout the trip to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. 

Absolutely! Bowfishing is a great family activity. We recommend children be able to follow safety instructions and be accompanied by a parent or guardian. We recommend 12 and older but please contact us if you have questions about age recommendations. 

Dress for the weather and wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little wet. Closed-toe shoes with good traction are highly recommended, and bringing a light jacket is always a good idea for evening trips. 

Our standard charters are 4 hours and have the option for extension. Call us! We are flexible to match the experience you seek.

Your safety comes first. If weather conditions are unsafe, we may postpone or reschedule the trip. We'll work with you to find another available date or discuss available options. 

 Common carp are an invasive species that negatively impact river ecosystems by uprooting aquatic vegetation and increasing water turbidity. By participating in a bowfishing charter, you're helping support conservation efforts while enjoying an exciting outdoor adventure.

We love this question. We don't only look at bowfishing as a fun activity, but also and impactful tool to help balance the Snake River's ecosystem. We refuse to dump harvested fish back into the water. Because of this, we have established partners that repurpose the fish. Examples being food at a crawfish farm and food for black bears at a rehabilitation facility!

Absolutely! We encourage guests to capture memories throughout the trip. Our guides are also happy to help take group photos so you can remember your Idaho bowfishing adventure for years to come. We would also love it if you tagged us on any social media posts!

Just give us a call! Weston or Cody will speak with you directly to help plan your desired experience!
