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.
