Fishing from a raft is a sure-fire way to increase your fishing action when fishing a favorite river near you. From whitewater rivers with big rapids to smaller waters with heavy brush cover to rivers and streams with difficult access points, choosing the right raft for fishing is crucial to a great day of fishing. But with the variety of choices out there, it can be difficult to know which is the best fly fishing raft for fishing a river or stream close to home. From our friends at NRS, here is their list of new fishing rafts for 2024.

We are especially excited for their NEW Slipstream 129. This raft was first introduced in in the early 2020s. In 2023 NRS began updating this ideal fishing craft and for 2024 they've created arguably the best fishing raft that can be seen on any local river near you. ‍
