Montana Guided Fly Fishing

Spring 2023

Bitteroot Rainbow

Things are fishing pretty good depending on the day. A couple of warmer overcast days in a row can really trigger the big bugs on the Bitteroot. When a little slower a small Adams or BWO behind the chubby can be the trick. Later in the Day is your best bet. If its slow when […]

It was a unique season to put it mildly. Not only one of the busiest on record. But also one of the driest. Often I’ll hear “Whats Next year look like”And, in this pandemic era and crazy weather patterns that seem to be the new norm. I don’t even venture to guess.What I do know […]
