We just may know you…or someone like you who has fished with us in the past.
Perhaps you're the experienced angler for whom we employ our knowledge of local waters to put you in the most likely fishing holes, where your casting ability will place a fly on a trout’s nose.
Or, maybe, you're new enough to the sport that you will benefit from our tutelage as you move beyond the fundamentals of casting to acquiring the skills that will enhance your enjoyment of the sport, and odds of netting a trout.
Or, you’re a first-timer who feels that you, or your spouse, children, or business associates, will benefit from the patient, understanding teaching methods we employ.
We understand that a day on the river is more enjoyable when you’re spending it with guides who are tuned into, and responsive to, your expectations.
What’s the agenda?
We usually meet around 0830, and expect to be fishing by mid-morning….Lunch will be served along the stream…We typically finish the day by 5 – 6 p.m., unless you need to return sooner.
How do we do this?
We float the rivers in 16 – foot drift boats and will travel 8 – 10 miles per day…we stop to wade those pools and runs that look promising.
Who will I fish with?
Your guide will be an experienced flyfishing guide who can instruct you in the fundamentals of casting and presenting flies, selecting flies, tying them on, if necessary, untangling knots, and, generally, making life simple for you.
What equipment will I need?
Five weight fly rods with matching reels and line are our go – to equipment, but other sizes will do the job…..You can bring your own flies, or your guide will assist you in selecting those that work best in Montana this time of the year.
What about clothing & stuff?
Lightweight pants and long sleeved shirts are the basics during hotter days, along with sandals or sport shoes…Waders aren’t usually required during mid – summer, but we can arrange rentals. You’ll want to bring a camera, sunscreen, hat, windbreaker, sunglasses/eye protection, and a cheery disposition.
Special dietary concerns?
Our typical lunches include oversized sandwiches and wraps, chips, salad, cookies, and soft drinks and water…If you have special dietary concerns, let us know ahead of time. You may bring wine or beer, and we’ll provide cups.
