Fins & Feathers Guide Service

We opened our doors as a Bozeman fly-shop and fly-fishing guide service back in late 2000. We sold the fly shop (the formerly Chartreuse building at 4-Corners) in late 2022 to our friends at Yellow Dog Fly Fishing. Our Bozeman fly-fishing guide service continues to operate as a separate entity with the same great staff of professional guides and ownership. We are among the longest, continuously operating fly-fishing guide services in Montana.

Guided Fly Fishing Trips in Bozeman

Guiding anglers in the Bozeman area has been our passion and focus for more than 23 years here in the Gallatin Valley. Simply put, Bozeman is the best place to experience western fly-fishing for Tout in the USA! Local river choices include the Madison, Gallatin, Yellowstone, Jefferson, and Missouri – each of which is easily accessed from Bozeman for daylong outings.

Bozeman fly-fishing guided trips are best experienced in specially designed drift boats which allow angler and guide to work closely together as they explore 10-15 miles of river during the typical day. The experience afforded with the boat is extraordinary as the angler is immediately immersed in the “real” Montana that is coming more difficult to find these days.

Fins and Feather Guide service has been guiding fly-fishing trips in Bozeman since 2000 and is one of the oldest, continuously operating services in Bozeman. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome on our guided fly-fishing trips in Bozeman with day trip offerings throughout the area.

Many of our guests book 3-4 days of guided fly-fishing so that they can experience the diversity of our local rivers while getting a more intimate and authentic western fly-fishing experience. Our guests can book a single day, two days over a week, 6 days over a summer, or 7 days in a row – we never run out of options when it comes to finding new water to show folks in the Bozeman area.
