Guide Service


There are literally hundreds of fly fishing guides licensed to operate in the state of Montana. And whether a guide has one year of experience or forty years, he or she has developed some type of perspective about trout fishing with the fly.

The sharing of that perspective is what you are paying for when you a hire a guide.

Mine is from the perspective of an avid Missouri River fly fisher and fly tier. I have fished these waters since 1983 and still do- frequently. I prefer to fish the waters where I guide clients and then teach and coach on the basis of what has worked for me.

 I guess I'm an "old-school" guide and I'm quite happy with that description.  I still tie a lot of my own my own flies and use these patterns on guide trips.  I like to encourage anglers to take what the river gives tactic-wise, be that fishing nymphs, fishing dry flies, or throwing streamers, and I love the old wooden  drift boats. 

Mostly though, through fly fishing  I have been fortunate to meet some truly fascinating folks and have developed many very special life-long friendships.

Oh yes, and we have caught a lot of fish..........
