Fins and Feathers Guide Service has provided anglers with world-class Montana fly fishing trips on blue-ribbon waters across Big Sky Country for over two decades. We offer guided day trips and customized Montana fly fishing vacations targeting wild trout on the rivers, streams, reservoirs, and spring creeks of Montana.
Our guides are expert fly anglers and patient instructors. Seasoned anglers will appreciate our nuanced and detailed knowledge: we’re dialed into the hatches, rivers, movements of the fish, and techniques to catch them. Novices will enjoy learning from supportive, patient instructors. We meet you wherever you are on your fly fishing journey.
A Fins and Feathers adventure promises world-class fishing experiences,
lasting memories, and new friendships forged in Montana's pristine waters near
Bozeman and across the region. Team up with our talented staff of Bozeman fly
fishing guides to experience fishing the legendary wild trout waters of
Southwest Montana with experienced, local professionals.
Bozeman Fly Fishing Trips
Based in Bozeman, the heart of Montana angling, Fins and Feathers Guide Service takes you wherever the fly fishing near Bozeman is best. Our seasoned, expert Montana fishing guides have been leading anglers on curated fly fishing day trips and vacations for over twenty years.
Montana Lodges and Hotel Packages
We offer vacation packages tailored to your ideal Montana fly fishing trip. Whether you prefer to stay in a downtown Bozeman hotel close to exceptional dining and nightlife, or at an all-inclusive fly fishing lodge just steps from a trout river, we create custom fly fishing trips that meet your needs.
Over Two Decades of Experience
Fins and Feathers Guide service knows the rivers and trout of Montana better than anyone else, because we’ve been operating our Montana fly fishing guide service continuously for more than two decades.
Back in 2000, we opened Bozeman’s premier fly shop and Montana fly fishing outfitter service. In 2022, we sold the shop to focus on what we love and do best: providing exceptional guided Montana fly fishing trips. When you book a Montana fly fishing trip with Fins and Feathers, you fish with one of us—a small, select group of experienced, Bozeman fly fishing guides.
We call Bozeman (and its numerous nearby rivers) home, but our fly fishing guides are comfortable fishing all over Big Sky Country. We can customize day trips or extended vacations across Montana tailored to your specific fishing and lodging preferences.
Legendary Montana Fly Fishing
We consider Bozeman the best trout fishing destination in Montana because it offers close proximity to a diverse array of water and fishing opportunities.
The Yellowstone, Madison, Gallatin, and Jefferson Rivers are just a short drive from town, giving you access to hundreds of miles of float and wade fishing with strong populations of wild trout on our home waters. Lesser known streams, mid-sized rivers, spring creeks, lakes, and reservoirs are also within an hour’s drive.
For those looking to venture further afield, we can create customized itineraries for a broader sampling of fly fishing on Montana rivers and locations beyond Bozeman.
The Best Fly Fishing in Montana
Why fish here? Because the Bozeman area offers access to some of the best trout rivers, streams, lakes, and spring creeks you’ll find anywhere. We know, because we’ve been fishing and guiding here since 2000.
However you like to fly fish for trout, Fins and Feathers Guide Service can craft a day trip or multi-day vacation suited to your skills, preferences, and expectations. Our decades of knowledge and experience combined with our proximity to hundreds of miles of world-class trout fishing water allow us to make each day on the water unique and memorable.
Our trip-planning tools offer terrific resources for anglers fly fishing in Montana. Whether you are looking to experience fly fishing in Montana with a pro guide or planning a DIY fly fishing trip, you will find our website to be loaded with informative, expert guidance.
