Lower Madison River Fishing Magic
"My son had a destination wedding in Bozeman. Decided to treat my sons to a fly fishing adventure prior to the wedding. Contacted F&F for their assistance and help make the adventure happen. F&F had everything ready for us and took us to the Madison River for 8 (4 boats) of us. It was a great day, lots of fish, but the patience they had for us beginners was awesome... "
