Kids Fly Fishing Trips – The Next Generation

We love kids fly fishing trips here at Montana Trout Outfitters.  They are the future of our sport and sharing time on the river with them is a special treat.  Our only rule is that the top priority of the day has to be having fun.  If something is fun kids want to do it […]

Missoula Dry Fly Fishing – Summer Season

The Missoula dry fly fishing has put our rivers on the to-do list for serious anglers all over the globe.  It starts in March and runs right through October.  However, mid-summer is a time period overlooked by many, and the rewards are reaped by those  intrepid fly fishers who come looking to fish a single […]

Missoula Fly Fishing Guides – The Day Off
