Once you have chosen a fishing route and time, we meet you at the starting point. The platforms are spacious where you can sit or stand as the guide takes you down the river… the speed of the rafts are excellent for fishing the pools. You can also choose to stop and shore fish interesting spots… it is your day.

Along the way we supply our Tripper Lunch. A large fresh wrap stuffed with your choice of turkey, beef, ham, chicken, veggie or Chicken Caesar… plus homemade butter tart or large cookie, fruit and juice/pop/water kept in a cooler.

If you need bait, tackle or to rent fishing equipment… Big Catch offers a complete fishing pole with fishing tackle for $20 plus tax.

The trips are 5-6 hours long. When the trip is done we shuttle you back to your vehicle. 

Words From Our Customers:  

“Many thanks are owed to Garth Pottruff for our recent float down the Grand. What an enjoyable experience. Though the steelhead weren't in yet, "Bob and Aubrey", our pet bass, managed to provide ample entertainment along with Garth's excellent command of the environment and impressive historical knowledge. It will be a pleasure to recommend the Grand River Rafting Company to anyone looking to enjoy the greatest of outdoors. Thanks again!"     Steve Blundon and Jim Tomkins.
