What a year is has been for fly fishing in Montana. We are lucky to get to spend our time on the water surrounded by so many great people, and I was to start off by giving a big thank you to all of the anglers that chose to fish with us, the guides that show up to work hard every day, and all of the shuttle drivers, lunch providers, and fly shops that work hard behind the scenes to make guided fly fishing in Montana so great. Thank You!
From our Missouri River basecamp, anglers fishing with the Montana Angling Company and our Montana fly fishing guides in 2019 will experience the ultimate Missouri River fly fishing trip. Our Missouri River basecamp program centers around the world-class fly fishing on the tailwater stretch of the Missouri River near Craig, MT but also offers access to other nearby blue ribbon rivers and streams.
Ask any of our Montana fly fishing guides for two words to describe summer fly fishing on the Yellowstone River and you will be met with the same response: “Big Dryflies”. Runoff generally ends sometime between June 20th and July 15th, usually around the fourth of July, and we feel there is no better way to celebrate our nation’s independence than a day of fly fishing on the Yellowstone River followed by fireworks and fun at the Livingston, Montana rodeo.
When it’s good, it’s good. Probably the best way to summarize winter fly fishing trips on the Missouri River near Craig, MT. When the weather is good, boat ramps are good, and when water temps are good, the fishing is good.
One of my favorite stories to tell on the boat is of a great multi-day overnight trip myself and some friends had on the Missouri River. The streamer fishing was great, wind was mild, and the sunny skies kept a smile glued on to everyone’s face. And it was early January. The next week it was -20 degrees.

The 2018 Montana fly fishing season has been treating our anglers and Bozeman, Montana fly fishing guides well so far and my magic 8 ball says July looks to continue the trend.

Our forecast for July? Lots of cold water, trout rising for dryflies, and more happy anglers.
