Learning to fish the waters of Montana or the western United States can be an intimidating task. There are endless options of rivers, lakes, and streams to fish, and many people wonder whether to hire a guide or not. Fly fishing trips in the Missoula area provide for a vast array of choices and opportunities for any level of angler.
My best advice to newer anglers looking to find quality fly fishing experiences in Montana would be to consider hiring a guide for even just 1 day. It will dramatically increase your knowledge and skill level, especially if you would like to also fish do-it-yourself style for the rest of the trip.
Another piece of advice would be to consider wade fishing small streams and creeks on your own. These hidden gems are great as a beginner because they offer forgiving and willing trout that don’t see much fishing pressure and are easy to fish to. When fishing a big river such as The Bitterroot, Blackfoot, or Clark Fork – a DIY experience is possible – but it will be very hard to have the quality of experience and success as hiring a guide. Montana Guiding Company hires Missoula Fly Fishing Guides who are experts in teaching beginner fly anglers the ins and outs of reading water, casting, line management, and catching trout. Just as importantly, they focus on having a fun, easy going day with clients from all backgrounds. Contact Montana Guiding Company today to hire a Missoula Montana Fly Fishing Guide to learn more about fly fishing in Montana.
