Steamboat Flyfisher in Missoula, Montana

Get out on the water with Hunter and enjoy a premier fishing experience from his driftboat. This style of fly fishing allows you to cover a ton of water with ease, and target deep holes and eddies that would be tough to reach from the bank. You'll be on the Clark Fork River, a beautiful Rocky Mountain flow that essentially defines Missoula. It runs through the heart of downtown, gathering up all the local rivers and widening its flow. The Clark Fork River has a few different sections you can explore, offering a few different fly fishing experiences. You'll find exactly what you're looking for on this river no matter your needs! The undercut banks, side channels, and drop offs in the Upper Clark Fork section are home to great Brown Trout and Rainbow populations. The Lower Clark Fork section, combining the flows of the Blackfoot and Bitterroot Rivers, has some of the best dry fly fishing in the area. Abundant hatches keep the Trout biting through the summer, and the Rainbows here are the hardest fighting in the state. On this half or full-day trip, Hunter will take you to the Clark Fork or Bitterroot rivers where you'll float down the river in Hunter's driftboat. He'll be rowing you to the best destinations to be fishing for Bullies, Rainbows, Brookies, and West Slope Cutthroats. These Trout-heavy rivers are excellent for throwing your first fly-fishing casts, knocking off the rust on your casting skills, or going for as many fish as you can. Whether you're an expert or a beginner, Hunter will show you some expert tips to help get one on the line! Hunter will provide all rods, reels, flies, ice, water and soft drinks. All you need to bring is a Montana fishing license. We recommend bringing some sunglasses, weather-appropriate gear, sunscreen (no spray please!), a camera, and any snacks or drinks you'll need on the water. You're also welcome to bring your own fly-fishing gear. Book your trip with Hunter today and get ready for a productive day of fishing! Read More
