The service was very easy to use. I received a call from a guide within 15 minutes of my request. I will use this site for future fishing trip plans.

General Inland
Montana fishing guides generally operate out of multi-species or bass style boats. They take 1-3 people out at a time and are found all over the state fishing Montana’s big rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Popular targets include Montana’s famous trout, bass, walleye, panfish, and other game fish. Fort Peck Reservoir, Flathead Lake, and the Missouri River are among the fantastic waters fished by our Montana fishing guides.
Fly Fishing
Many people feel that Montana is home to finest trout fishing in the world. Montana fly fishing guides have countless destinations on rivers, streams, and lakes throughout the state catching rainbow, golden, cutthroat, brook, and brown trout. Popular trout rivers include the Yellowstone, Flathead, Blackfoot, and Bitterroot rivers. While trout are the most popular fly fishing target, Montana’s fly fishing guides fish the warmer waters such as the Lower Yellowstone River for northern pike, largemouth, and smallmouth bass. Montana fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish. Montana fly fishing certainly lives up to its reputation!
Ice Fishing
Although Montana ice fishing guides operate seasonally and are dependent on safe ice, there are usually at least 4 months of consistent ice. Montana ice fishing guides can provide heated shanties and concentrate on icing walleye, trout, and panfish throughout the season. There is no better way to cure a little “cabin fever” than hiring a Montana ice fishing guide to put you on the fish.
