Fly Fishing

Finding a unique and thoughtful present for the dad who seems to have it all can be challenging. That’s why we’ve curated a selection of top-notch gift ideas that are sure to delight any fly fisherman.

As Mother’s Day approaches, it’s time to celebrate the special women in our lives who share a love for the fly fishing. Finding the perfect gift for Mom can sometimes feel like casting into unfamiliar waters, but fear not! At our Missoula fly shop, we understand what your mom needs to make the most of her time on the water this season.

Looking for advice on packing for a Montana fly fishing trip? Or maybe you’re wanting to prepare for a Missoula guided fly fishing trip? Make sure you’re packing the proper gear so you can make the most of your experience.

One of our favorite things about peak summer is the huge variety of different places to go fly fishing in Montana. From the local go-to’s like the Bitterroot River, Blackfoot River, Clark Fork River, and Rock Creek to the tiny tributary streams that drain numerous valleys out of the neighboring mountains — the options are endless and there is no better way to explore these places than with a fly rod in hand.

To most, the dry, pale shade of yellow that overcomes our lawns, fields, and hillsides is a sign that the dog days of summer are upon us. To fly fishermen, however, late summer in Montana is synonymous with low water and big hopper fly patterns.

If you’re beginning fly fishing but just don’t know where to start, trust us– you’re not the only one. Like any sport, starting out in fly fishing requires a dash of patience and a heaping dollop of practice.
