I've done it several times with several different outfitters and on

you like I can make some inquiries to find out what outfitters are
highly recommended for fishing.

I was just told that the Orvis-endorsed outfitter, Solitude,

is the only outfitter that uses drift boats. That makes your choice
easier. I see their Orvis-green boats in town a lot.

I recall seeing another outfitter on the river some years ago that used
wood drift boats. He must have busted holes in all of them and given up. :-)
