The Big Hole River Foundation's
River Ambassador Program
The River Ambassador Program was initiated to showcase the outstanding guides and outfitters who work and live in the Big Hole River basin. Guides and outfitters constantly demonstrate an exemplary attitude toward conservation and spend countless hours helping people understand the importance of conserving and protecting our precious resources. This attitude supports the mission of the Big Hole River Foundation.
Guides and outfitters are in a unique position to substantially influence public perception of the Big Hole River and the philosophy of conservation and care. When clients new to the area spend a day with a guide on the river, they have a unique opportunity to educate them about angling ethics, conservation principles, and the history and culture of the Big Hole River and southwest Montana. When those clients return to fish each year, guides have the opportunity to reinforce these values and lessons, plus educate clients on changes in the watershed and regulations that govern the use of the Big Hole River.
Since guide's actions and words directly impact the actions and attitudes of the public they are often emulated. We believe a core community of guides espousing the Basic Principles can influence anglers to thoughtful behavior that conserves the Big Hole River.
Guides are on the river every day and can help the Foundation serve as its eyes and ears. We appreciate the guides alerting us to developing issues, observations and suggestions for the Foundation.
Guides currently involved in our River Ambassador Program are listed below. The RAP Membership form can be found at: Ambassador of the River
