to shepherd people through adventures on the Missouri River. His vision started with a custom-built
boat to accommodate the changing river conditions. “There are stumps, sand bars, and a channel that
changes drastically from one spot to the next, so a normal boat isn’t the best idea for navigating up
and down our portion of the Missouri River,” Riibe explains.
Equipped for success, Riibe Outdoors has everything one needs to go duck hunting, bow fishing,
walleye or any kind of sport fishing, paddle fish snagging, paddle fish bow fishing, and touring on the
river. Plus, you get the idea when talking with Chummy that he’s open to ideas if you have something
in mind!
When you sign up for an outing with Riibe Outdoors, the most important thing you’ll need to take
along is an attitude for adventure. “I like to take people out to enjoy nature and show them that our
river has so much to offer. It’s about the experience and, of course, a bit of education, given that
my full-time job is as a professor. Other places offer outings that are all about catching limits and
winning a prize. My groups will often catch limits and reach their goals too, but I want the focus to be
on the enjoyment of nature and the experience of the day,” shares Riibe.
Chummy credits the success of outdoor adventure experiences in Yankton to the spirit of the Yankton
community.
“There’s a team effort to bring people here and
get them outside to see the beauty that surrounds
