1. Trust Experience

As a professional fly fishing guides we have decades of combined experience fly fishing and guiding all across the state of Montana and beyond, all 12 months of the year. We have seen how seasons, flows, weather, and angler experience impacts the quality of Montana fly fishing trips on all of Montana’s blue ribbon rivers.

Our goal when booking every fly fishing trip is to give our anglers the best possible Montana guided fly fishing experience, custom fit to their particular group and expectations. We rely on our experience earned on the water, guiding anglers and booking trips every day of a Montana fly fishing season to be able to make this happen. As an independent outfitter, our primary concern is the quality of your trip. Anglers can trust our experience to know where to go, when to go there, where to stay, and to make the most of their next fly fishing trip to Montana.

2. Book Early

We are lucky to be able to work with some of the most experienced and professional fly fishing guides and outfitters in Montana. From the Yellowstone River, to the Missouri River, the Big Horn River, and all of the smaller waters in between, we work with local fly fishing guides that consistently exceed angler expectations for a Montana guided fly fishing trip.

Demand is high for the best guides in Montana and many of our Montana fly fishing guides’ calendars book out well in advance. In some cases a full year even. We know the quality of guiding largely impacts the quality of a Montana fly fishing trip. The earlier you are able to book your trip, the better availability we have for our fly fishing guides.

We would rather inform our anglers we are all booked up for the day than to send them out with a guide we have anything less than full confidence in. And during the primetime months from May-October, we book out early and often. Book early to make the most of your next Montana Fly Fishing trip.

3. Practice, Practice, Practice

Montana fly fishing trips are great for anglers of all skill levels. There is no better place to learn to fly fish than on a blue ribbon river with one of our experienced and professional Montana fly fishing guides. The opportunities for experienced anglers to enjoy fly fishing for trophy trout are endless. Between freestone rivers like the Yellowstone River, Madison River, and the endless waters of Yellowstone National Park and the famous tailwater rivers of the Missouri River and Big Horn River we really do have it all.

Anglers coming in cold will find their guide will provide them with great instruction and the experience to guide them into success. Anglers who practiced polish some of their skills at home before their trip will find even more success. Every angler, regardless of skill, has something they can work on. For beginner anglers this may be working on the mechanics of casting. For the seasoned angler this may be perfecting their reach cast. The more you put in off the water, the more you will get out on the water. Need to know what to work on? We are always here to point you in the right direction.

4. Let Your Expectations be Known

Clear communication between an angler and their outfitter and guides is a key part of making any Montana fly fishing trip the best it can be. From the moment you book your next trip, to on the water with your guide, clearly making your expectations known will help you make the most of your next Montana fly fishing trip. We treat all of our fly fishing trips as custom and work closely with anglers to understand their preferences and expectations. The more we know, the better we can build your trip.

Every angler is different. Whether you are a beginner angler, seasoned vet, dry fly fanatic, or streamer junkie, we work to build the perfect Montana fly fishing trip for you, your group, and your budget. The better we understand your expectations, the better we can book the best Montana fly fishing trip for you.

5. Ask Questions

There are no bad questions! The more you ask the more you will be able to learn and make the most of your Montana fly fishing trip. Our outfitter and all of our Montana fly fishing guides are all knowledgeable local experts about the fly fishing, but also about much of the rest about what makes fly fishing in Montana so great. We encourage all anglers to fire away with any and all questions about the flora, fauna, mountains, rivers near and far, history, culture, favorite this and favorite that, local eats and drinks, and anything else that may present itself. While we can be reached anytime via phone and email and love to hear from anglers, you only get so much time each trip with your Montana fly fishing guide. Make the most of it and pick their brain!
