Fins and Feathers - Bozeman Fly Fishing Guides Since 2000
Established in late 2000, Fins and Feathers has been a staple for anglers fly fishing in Montana for over two decades. We began this adventure as Bozeman fly fishing guide service and specialty fly shop in the most highly competitive (even back then) market in fly fishing. We sold the shop to Yellow Dog in late 2022 to enjoy the fruits of our hard work in the retail space.
Today, the focus is on continuing Fins and Feathers' legacy of angling authenticity by sharing our passion for the sport through our fly fishing blog, Montana fishing reports, and guided Montana fly fishing trips.
Contact Toby Swank - our owner and outfitter – for more information regarding guided Montana fly fishing trips.
