Over Two Decades of Experience
Fins and Feathers Guide service knows the rivers and trout of Montana better than anyone else because we’ve been operating our Montana fly fishing guide service continuously for more than two decades.
Back in 2000, we opened Bozeman’s premier fly shop and Montana fly fishing outfitter service. In 2022, we sold the shop to focus on what we love and do best: providing exceptional guided Montana fly fishing trips. When you book a Montana fly fishing trip with Fins and Feathers, you fish with one of us—a small, select group of experienced Bozeman fly fishing guides.
We call Bozeman (and its numerous nearby rivers) home, but our fly fishing guides are comfortable fishing all over Big Sky Country.
Legendary Montana Fly Fishing
We consider Bozeman the best trout fishing destination in Montana because it offers close proximity to a diverse array of water and fishing opportunities.
The Yellowstone, Madison, Gallatin, and Jefferson Rivers are just a short drive from town, giving you access to hundreds of miles of float and wade fishing with strong populations of wild trout on our home waters. Lesser known streams, mid-sized rivers, spring creeks, lakes, and reservoirs are also within an hour’s drive.
For those looking to venture further afield, we can create customized itineraries for a broader sampling of fly fishing on Montana rivers and locations beyond Bozeman.
The Best Fly Fishing in Montana
Why fish here? Because the Bozeman area offers access to some of the best trout rivers, streams, lakes, and spring creeks you’ll find anywhere. We know, because we’ve been fishing and guiding here since 2000.
However you like to fly fish for trout, Fins and Feathers Guide Service can craft a day trip or multi-day vacation suited to your skills, preferences, and expectations. Our decades of knowledge and experience combined with our proximity to hundreds of miles of world-class trout fishing water allow us to make each day on the water unique and memorable.
Our trip-planning tools offer terrific resources for anglers fly fishing in Montana. Whether you are looking to experience fly fishing in Montana with a pro guide or planning a DIY fly fishing trip, you will find our website to be loaded with informative, expert guidance.
