Hi I'm Dylan, owner and operator. We specialize in fun family friendly fly fishing and spin fishing trips around Bozeman, Ennis, Bigsky, West Yellowstone, and Three Forks. Our home base is located in Ennis, MT on the famous Madison River. We spend our mornings, days, and sometimes nights, fishing these local rivers and lakes in search of wild trout and a relaxing fun day on the water. There is no better way to spend a day in Montana than floating in a boat, and we would love to show you around!
