🎣Captain John with Cut Bank Adventures, offers river cruises and fishing charters in the Fort Madison area in the spring and fall. He is able to show you river wildlife, area sites and has even chased passing trains for rail fans! During the summer season, Captain John is an Alaskan fishing guide, so he can't offer cruises at that time.

Please call our office to reserve your seat for any of the 2026 cruises. 𝟑𝟏𝟗-𝟑𝟕𝟏-𝟒𝟔𝟖𝟐.
