Fishtales Outfitting: Montana’s Premier Fly Fishing Experience
At Fishtales Outfitting, we’re your trusted source for guided fly fishing adventures on ten of Montana’s most legendary rivers. Montana is globally celebrated for its pristine wilderness, awe-inspiring landscapes, and—most importantly—its world-class fly fishing opportunities. Scientific studies and angler surveys consistently rank Montana among the top fly fishing destinations on Earth, with its rivers holding some of the highest densities of wild trout in the United States (Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, 2023).
Why Montana? The Data Behind the Legend
Montana’s rivers are Blue-Ribbon fisheries, a designation reserved for waters with exceptional trout populations and habitat quality. According to Trout Unlimited, Montana is home to over 22,000 miles of fishable rivers and streams, including 3,000 miles of Blue-Ribbon waters—more than any other state. Our guided trips cover the best of these fisheries, including:
- The Yellowstone River: The longest undammed river in the U.S., supporting 4,000 trout per mile in some sections (USGS, 2022).
- The Madison River: Famous for its 3,500+ trout per mile, including trophy-sized brown and rainbow trout (Montana FWP).
- The Missouri River: Recognized by Field & Stream as one of the "Top 5 Trout Rivers in America", with consistent hatches and large wild trout.
- Private Waters at Beaverhead Ranch: Exclusive access to spring-fed creeks with 20+ inch wild trout, offering solitude and unmatched angling.
