Our Bozeman, Montana fly fishing guides are constantly checking the USGS flow gauges on our blue ribbon rivers to know where flows are optimal for the best fly fishing in Montana. This information is especially important on our freestone rivers like the Yellowstone River, Gallatin River, and Boulder River where a even a small rain event can blow the whole river. On our tailwater rivers like the Missouri River and Bighorn River this information lets us know how to rig rods before we even hit the road. Stay up-to-date with our selected USGS Montana River Flow links and know where to go. Be sure to bookmark this page to have it handy when you need it.

The fly fishing on the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks, particularly DePuy’s Spring Creek, is the only thing in Montana better than skiing in March. The weather has to play along, but when it does it can be as good of fly fishing for wild trout as you can find anywhere. And our Montana Spring Creek fly fishing guides have the experience needed to help you catch them.

Montana truly is the last best place to fly fish for wild trout. The blue ribbon waters of the Big Sky state draw anglers from all over the world to take part in the Montana fly fishing tradition. Rivers like the Yellowstone, Madison, Missouri, and Big Horn need no introduction. You can count on our Montana fly fishing guides to make your Montana fly fishing trip, truly your best yet.

The first of March is the official start of fly fishing season for us in Montana. Our Montana fly fishing guides are back on the water, fishing licenses have to be renewed, ski racks are put away, and drift boats are hitched and ready to go to the river. It’s still normal to get snow through March but sunny days and warmer temperatures start to signal the end of Winter.

You are thinking about booking a day of guided fly fishing in Montana but don’t know what to expect. You’ve looked through our trip offerings, FAQs, gear list, and river descriptions. You get the specifics but want to know how it all comes together, what the full experience of fly fishing in Montana with the Montana Angling Company entails. Here is our rundown:

It is late August in Montana. The early summer hatches of stoneflies, mayflies, and caddis are in the rearview mirror. While things seem to be quiet on the river, the fly fishing is as good as it gets on our Bozeman, MT home waters of the Yellowstone River, Madison River, Missouri River, and Yellowstone National Park. Some of our best days of the year happen in late August when flows are low, rivers are clear, and the hatches are thin. How do our Montana fly fishing guides keep the bite alive when the dog days of summer set in?

Montana Spring Creek Fly Fishing offers technical fly fishing to challenge even the most accomplished of anglers. DePuy’s Spring Creek, Armstrong’s Spring Creek, and Nelson’s Spring Creek are all world famous fisheries in Paradise Valley, a short drive from our home base of Bozeman, Montana. We’ve learned a lot during our time on the water guiding anglers and fishing for the spooky and selective trout in these creeks and have compiled a basic guide to Montana Spring Creek success. While this guide is catered to fly fishing the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks, consider applying these tactics and lessons to any technical water you find yourself on.
