I enjoyed my first Missoula fly fishing experience with Doug guiding my son-in-law and I on 6/20/15. It was an experience of a lifetime fishing for Rainbow, Brown, and Cutthroat trout on the Bitterroot River. Doug was a fantastic fishing guide, instructor, expert navigator, tour guide and well prepared to make it a memorable, comfortable, experience of a lifetime. It was a glorious ending to an amazing week for us, as Doug say's , "living the dream, fishing the stream". I say, "it doesn't get any better than this!" Thanks Doug and Clear Creek Outfitters!

Why would I recommend Clear Creek outfitters?

“Doug at Clear Creek Outfitters ensured that my first trout fishing experience would not be my last.  His expertise and patience helped me land my first several trout, and got me excited for a longer return trip.  Doug will ensure your fishing trip is not a disappointment.”

Thanks again.

I floated with Doug Jones & Clear Creek Outfitters this June (2013) on the Clark River below Missoula as well as the Missouri River out of Craig, MT. To say it was a complete pleasure would be an understatement. Doug has a pleasing, easy style on the water as well as expert knowledge of all waters in the area. He put us onto fish but more than that, he knows how to quietly row and steady the boat making for perfect long drifts with a dry fly. He was prompt picking us up in the morning, comfortable ride to the water, provided a great lunch, tied on the perfect flies for us and expertly landed our biggest fish.
Trust me.. I know.. If you want to float the Blackfoot, the Bitterroot, Clark or Missouri, contact Doug, you won't be disappointed.

I booked a trip with Doug for my birthday, and he was absolutely perfect!! I had an amazing day, aside from having a friend invite themselves and kind of putting a damper on the day. But Doug was very professional, thoughtful, patient, informative, and fun to be around. He didn't talk too much and didn't talk too little, and he really knew the river!! I will definitely be going out with him when I return, he helped make it my best experience so far. I have no doubt it will be even better next time. I also had a baby with me, which he was incredibly empathic and considerate about. Thank you for a great day!!

Greatest Fly Fishing
I've been out with Doug in early and late spring, summer, and fall. There is more fishing available in his area than you can fish in a full week. Always a pleasure hanging out and learning/experiencing the day on the river with him. My wife and kids have all spent multiple trips in the past few years with Doug and I find him hands down the most enjoyable guide for all skill levels I have run into. I highly recommend Doug and Clear Creek Outfitters for anyone of any skill level to contact him in the Missoula and Craig areas of MT.

Fishing trip for 3 days
We had 3 great days of float fishing on the Blackfoot, Clark Fork and the west fork of the Bitterroot. Doug Jones and his guides do a great job on the float providing a friendly and welcome atmosphere. Doug is a very experienced guide and knows how to put you on the fish regardless of your experience level.

Fishing the Great Rivers of Montana - Clear Creek Outfitters Missoula
I've been fishing with Doug Jones of Clear Creek Outfitters for the past 5 years. We fished the most productive stretches of the Bitterroot, the Blackfoot, and the Clark Fork. Doug knows his business. He is one of the best guides I have been out with anywhere. I consider myself an intermediate fly fisher. What that translates to is that Doug has to probably tie on many more flies for me than the average person and/or help navigate the birds nests that I somehow seem to be most adept at creating. Never a complaint from Doug. He's a good person and provides a quality service. You may not catch fish every time you go out...it is fishing not catching ... but you will have a good time!

Aaron was fantastic. My son and I floated the Blackfoot today and had a wonderful time.

Aaron was great - he taught us ( novice fly fisherman) and was the most professional and personal guide I've experienced. His knowledge and patience made us feel very welcome.

Thanks for a great day on the water.

Memory of a lifetime! We'll be back!

It doesn't surprise me that Doug has great reviews I was his roommate @ LSU for 2 years, he was always fun to be around and one you could count on. He has had a passion for the outdoors so I'm glad to see he has found his calling! All the Best Doug

Doug is fantastic. Had never been fishing before but was really happy I met Doug and had the opportunity to go on one of his fishing tours/seminars. Was amazing!

The Clear Creek Experience!!
Doug Jones consistently deliver amazing experiences on Montana's best fisheries. Incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, Doug is equally great with beginners, to the most seasoned anglers....and everyone in between. He is my "go to" guide when fishing the great state of Montana and I highly recommend that you give Clear Creek Outfitters a shot. You won't be disappointed!

First time fly fishing, could not have asked for a better outfitter or guide, our day down the Blackfoot was fantastic. Doug is what you would want a guide to be, he is experienced, friendly and was extremely patient for a couple of novices such as myself and my wife who were enjoying their 35th. anniversary.

Thanks Doug!

Incredible

Doug Jones is an expert guide and Missoula is the place for trout fishing
We spent two days with Doug on the Blackfoot and Bitterroot West Fork. This guy knows the rivers and he is very good with weekend fisherman who enjoy the sport but are far from experts. Hiring a good guide makes all the difference for a successful fishing experience. He has the boat, the truck, all the tackle, and above all the knowledge of where to go and how to fish the many rivers in the Missoula area. He is a real pleasure to spend time with as well.

Fishing with Clear Creek Outfitters
I have fished with Doug Jones and Clear Creek on two different occasions. The experience was fantastic. Doug has great knowledge of the rivers and great respect for the ecology and area he calls home. I am a novice fly fisherman and Doug is very patient and well humored when it comes to tangled lines and flies in the back of his neck. Blackfoot, Bitter Root and Missouri Rivers were all amazing. He is professional and well respected. Boats and gear are in great shape.

My family and I go with Doug and Clear Creek Outfitters every year.  Clear Creek is a professional outfitter dedicated to their client's needs and expectations. We've never had a bad experience and the fish are always there to put up a fight.

If you are gonna fish...ask for Doug. Great guy, great sense of humor, and a great teacher. He put us in the very best spots and was teaching along the way. The best guide I have ever had! Cheers.

Doug and the team at Clear Creek really took good care of my son and myself on recent trip to the Blackfoot. It was was a great day....the beauty, the fun, the fellowship and the laughter. My 9 year old son caught his first rainbow on a fly and he was over the moon about it. Great day, great folks. Makes loving Montana even easier. Tight lines!!! Highly recommend!!! Will be back.

I've fished with Doug for many years and wouldn't think of going with anyone else! We went to the Bitterroot River and the fishing was slow, so Doug turned around and we had great day on the Blackfoot River. Who does that? Thanks Doug.....will be back!! I love fly fishing in Montana.
