We had a great experience booking our guided trip through Grizzly Hackle. They were professional and very friendly. Our guide Andy knew the river well, and we had a great day catching several nice fish. We will definitely book through Grizzly Hackle again.

The Grizzly Hackle fly shop and their Guides are World class. They have everything you could possibly need for flyfishing. The guides are knowledgeable, professional and work with your abilityto fish, while teaching you how to do it better and catch more fish. My group and I have fished all over the West and you won’t have a more enjoyable experience anywhere!

- Mike E.

Just got back from my annual Mecca to Missoula (25 years and counting) I've been using the Grizzly Hackle and their outfitter Drew Miller every year—and every year they NEVER disappoint. From the scheduling to the guiding everything is 5 stars. There are other outfitters and fly shops options in Missoula, but the Grizzly Hackle and the all guides are without comparison. You will not regret selecting them for one second!
