Montana
Wilderness Fly Fishing
with
Experienced Outfitters & Guides
On
any of our trips into the
Montana wilderness, you'll be able to enjoy superb fly fishing with Montana Fly Fishing guides and outfitters in the high country streams,
rivers and lakes. The Bob Marshall, Scapegoat and Great Bear Wilderness
Areas are, quite simply, a Montana fishing paradise.
We
also have special MT fishing
trips available, so please call for details.
Montana
has some of the finest westslope Cutthroat Trout (our native
fish) fishing in the lower 48. In addition, depending on location,
you may find Rainbow, Brook Trout, Eastern Brook Trout, Bull Trout,
Dolly Varden and Arctic Grayling. Catch-and-release fishing is recommended
by our Montana outfitters and guides.
This
is ideal MT fly fishing country, though
some fishermen bring spinning or combination spin/fly rods.
Our
Montana fly fishing guides and outfitters recommend that any type of rod you choose
to bring should preferably break down into 3' or less sections and
be encased in a hard case of either plastic or aluminum for easy
packing without breakage.
