Montana Fly Fishing

When most people think about fly fishing in Montana, they picture the dry landscapes and wide open vistas of the southern part of the state. Let us tell you about another Montana, a place of lush forests, rushing rivers and wild trout; a Montana that few people really know about, and even fewer visit. That's what Montana fly fishing is about for us and the Montana we call home.

Many of the rivers we fly fish are unknown names to the legions of fly fishermen who travel out west in search of great trout water. These local waters hold wild cutthroat, rainbow, brook or brown trout, and provide a first-rate fly fishing experience. No crowds are the rule in this remote part of Montana, and some days you might not see another angler.

We offer an amazing variety of Montana fly fishing trips, from big, brawling rivers to small intimate creeks and even some lakes and ponds. One day may find you floating and fly fishing the mighty Kootenai, casting to hard-fighting, rising rainbows, while the next you're stalking wild cutthroats with dry flies on a local tributary while a deer watches over your shoulder. We also fly fish other, better known rivers like the Clark Fork River and Missouri River if you are looking for a fly fishing guide trip to one of these more famous well-known rivers.

Just tell us what type of Montana fly fishing trip you're looking for and we can set it up for you. While we can never guarantee lots of fish, or nothing but big fish, we can guarantee our knowledge and the knowledge of our fly fishing guide staff. We feel that's the most valuable thing we have to offer. Linehan Outfitting Company fly fishing guides are true instructors. If you're fly casting needs work, it will be better by the time you leave. If your knots are giving you trouble, no problem. Breaking off bigger fish? We'll help remedy that too. We guarantee you'll have a great western fly fishing experience.
