BELGRADE RAFTING FIELD GUIDE
A Compact Slipstream for Montana’s Shallow Runs

A Compact Slipstream for Montana’s Shallow Runs.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
Purpose-built, durable, and fish-ready
Welded-seam tubes, upper and lower wear pads, and three independent chambers make the Slipstream 120 rugged on varied water. Its purpose-built layup includes angler seats, thigh hooks and an NRS Lo-pro fishing frame with extra D-rings for lashing gear.
Shallow-water access where bigger rafts can’t go
At 12 feet the Slipstream 120 is optimized for low, pushy stretches and meandering streams — a smaller alternative to larger Slipstream models that opens access to shallow fishing reaches.
Stable floor, storage and an internal anchor
A 6-inch drop-stitch floor with slip-resistant padding removes the need for a casting platform, and the internal anchor system (controllable from the rower’s seat) plus integrated storage make it a ready-to-fish rental.
What the day feels like
What it feels like on the water
The Slipstream 120 rides low and sure: compact enough to nose into skinny seams, stable enough for standing casts on its drop-stitch floor, and set up with angler seats and an internal anchor so you can hold a lane while stalking fish or ferrying through varied flows on single-day or multi-day outings.
