About This Adventure
Experience the thrill of Montana's waters with the NRS Slipstream 139, a versatile raft designed for both shallow streams and challenging rivers. Accommodating up to three anglers, it features a durable construction, innovative storage solutions, and an internal anchor system, ensuring a memorable fishing adventure like no other.
Much like our NRS Slipstream 120, the Hatch Adventures-equipped NRS Slipstream 139 is ready to tackle any body of water that Montana has to offer. While maintaining the agility and stealth of smaller rafts the NRS Slipstream 139 is more than capable of tackling the bigger rivers and longer trips.
Designed for shallow water performance the Slipstream allows you access to water other rafts cannot reach. With the option to fit three anglers, or fewer anglers and more gear, the Slipstream 139 is designed to float pushy rivers, languid streams, and everything in between. Rent ours in ready-to-fish packages. Our Slipstreams feature exclusive storage solutions, an internal anchor system, and more.
