Fins and Feathers Guide Service is a fly fishing outfitter based in Bozeman, Montana. Established in 2000 along with the fly shop - Fins and Feathers of Bozeman – we have been guiding fly anglers throughout Montana for over 20 years. We sold the fly shop in 2022 and now focus solely on the guided fly fishing aspects of our enterprise. Our goal is to provide exceptional fly fishing day trip experiences to learning and advanced anglers on the waters of Montana.
We are currently seeking candidates for the role of Outfitting Manager. This is a full-time remote work position. Our ideal candidate will be based in Southwest Montana, preferably in the Gallatin Valley, and have extensive knowledge of myriad fisheries in the region. The successful candidate will work closely with the General Manager to further our goals through content creation and communication with our clients and staff.
This is a highly specialized role within the fly fishing industry that requires a unique blend of fly fishing competency and technical proficiency with a variety of digital tools.
There are two compensation scenarios that we are exploring to ensure that we find the best candidate. There is no priority being given to either of these scenarios.
To qualify for consideration under this scenario, the applicant must be a licensed guide in the state of Montana and a registered Independent Contractor. Applicants must own their own drift boat, have a valid driver’s license, a vehicle appropriate for guiding in Montana, own their own fly fishing equipment, and have at least 2 years of experience guiding fly fishing float trips in Montana or the northern Rockies.
The successful applicant can expect to guide between a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 75 trips during the season. Gross compensation will vary between $25-$38K, plus gratuities (average $150 per trip) and is in addition the base salary.
Please forward a resume and cover letter to info@flyfishingbozeman.com to be considered for this position. Applicants are encouraged to note their preferred compensation package as either Manager or Manager/Guide in their cover letter.
Although the starting date is flexible, the successful candidate should be available to start between August 1 and October 1.
Application closing date is July 19, 2024.
We are looking to add a handful of Bozeman fly fishing guides to our staff members for the 2024 season.
Applicants must have 1+ years experience guiding on the waters around Bozeman, including the Yellowstone and Madison (upper and lower) rivers from a drift boat.
Our guides are independent contractors and required to be licensed by the Montana Board of Outfitters, carry their own liability insurance, have commercial vehicle coverage, and have their own vehicle/boat/trailer/gear packages.
All licensed guides are invited to be included in our "pool" for consideration as overflow candidates. Please note that 95% of our trips are float trips, so please don't apply if your focus is on wade trips.
