Monti has been fly fishing most of his life and has been guiding on the Kootenai River for over twenty years. His favorite part of the job is seeing people, especially young people, catch their first fish on a fly rod.  He is a gifted teacher, his laugh and enthusiasm are infectious, and he is always optimistic in his daily efforts to get into fish.  Monti loves dry fly fishing with big bugs and will throw at any species including pike and bass.  Monti lives in Libby, Montana with his wife Casey and their family including grown children and grand children that keep him busy when he's not on the water.
