2020 Montana Fly Fishing Season in Review
2020 Montana Fly Fishing Season in Review

We were beyond fortunate to be able to work, stay healthy, and spend so many great days on the water with anglers this year. The appreciation our Montana fly fishing guides have cannot be understated, as well as our thoughts and care for those that were not able to make it in 2020. We are looking forward to being back on the water with everyone, in good health, and safely, in 2021.

3/28/2020 Shelter in Place and Guide Trip Update

As of 12:01AM on 3/28/2020 Montana has been issued a directive to shelter in place and a closure of all non-essential business. In accordance with this directive all guided fly fishing trips with the Montana Angling Company will be on hold until 4/10/2020 when the directive expires. We have already reached out to all anglers with trips booked through the end of April so this will not affect any bookings, as alternate arrangements have already been made.
