Guide Staff

We are looking to add a handful of core guide staff members for the 2022 season here in the Bozeman area. Applicants must have several years experience rowing on the waters around Bozeman including the Yellowstone and Madison (upper and lower) rivers in a drift boat. Our guides are independent contractors and required to be licensed by the Montana Board of Outfitters, carry their own liability insurance, have commercial vehicle coverage, and have their own vehicle/boat/trailer/gear packages. In order to be considered for a core-guide position, candidates must have open availability from July 1 - September 30, 2022 at time of application. First-time guides are welcome to apply following completion of Fins & Feathers Guide School in spring 2022 (email us for more information). All licensed guides are invited to be included in our "pool" for consideration as overflow candidates if the core-guide program is not for you. Please note that 95% of our trips are float trips, so please don't apply if your focus is on wade trips.
