Vermont Drift Boat Trips

We offer Vermont Drift Boat Trips! The drift boat offers us access to rivers such as The Otter Creek, Winooski River, Lamoille River, but also lesser known lakes and ponds that get less pressure. As with all of our trips, all tackle and gear is provided. These trips target both species of bass and pike by fly fishing and spin casting. Out of all the waters listed, The Otter Creek offers the most potential for trophy-quality Northern Pike.

Our Vermont Drift Boat Trips are very mobile and allow us to get into remote areas and secluded fishing spots. These trips are great for spring and fall but can be fished from April to November. Peak dates will be May and June, September and October, since these time periods offer the best fishing quality & water temps. . Our drift boat trips offer more traditional hands-on guiding as they are two clients to one guide... Book with us today as dates are sure fill fast!

Our 8hr trips are considered a "Full day" trip and includes a complimentary shore side lunch of sandwiches, light snacks & beverages. These trips can also be broken down into two separate locations to taste multiple bodies of water!

Steelhead - Salmon River of NY

Begining late fall/early winter, steelhead trips begin for November and December. Our driftboat trips for steelhead are in the upper Salmon River, targeting the chrome, leaping ironheads that are pure muscle. Light tackle tactics by either float-fishing or back trolling will be how we target these fighting machines. All tackle is provided by 3rd Alarm Charters- all you will need is your license and warm clothes!

Midweek dates are best for all Salmon River trips as pressure is less and makes for a heightened experience. Call 3rd Alarm Charters today to book your next adventure!
