Charters don't get much better than Captain Dan and his team. Enjoy the chase of catch and release fly fishing for Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and Cutthroat Trout fishing storied Montana waterways like the Big Hole River, Beaverhead River, Madison River, Jefferson River, Missouri River, and Ruby River. With over 300 miles of world-renowned Montana fly fishing water within an hour's drive of your cabin, you're gonna want to stay and fish a while!

So with that, welcome to Twin Bridges, Montana! This area of Southwest Montana is home of the Big Hole, Beaverhead, Ruby, Madison, and Jefferson Rivers. Experience world-class fly fishing, accommodations, full fly shop, and guides located in the heart of Montana's Blue Ribbon Trout Country.

Captain Dan and his crew have two options for your stay in Twin Bridges, Montana. We have the tried and true Stonefly Inn, located on the main street of Twin Bridges, as well as the exclusive Stonefly Lodge, located five miles out of town on the Big Hole River.

Remotely located off the beaten trail in Twin Bridges, Montana, these waters are largely protected from the fishing pressure some of the other areas of the state contend with. In Twin Bridges, you can truly unwind and enjoy your Montana fly fishing vacation along with the solitude and vastness of Southwest Montana. The days are longer, the fish are bigger, and the beer is colder.

Captain Dan and his entire staff are dedicated to providing you a Montana fly fishing vacation that will leave you wanting to return year after year. Thanks to the Stonefly's dedication to homey customer service, their average return ratio hovers around 95% season after season. During your stay, you'll be treated as a personal guest. Rooster's daughters, McCall and Cady, will do their best to impress you with stories of life growing up at the fishing lodge, many of which include the stories of great guests and friends that are the life pulse of The Stonefly.

Captain Dan comes from a Montana fly fishing family, and you can bet you'll be part of it when you are at The Stonefly. After long work days, your hosts love to break bread at the family table together to share stories of the day.

Captain Dan considers it a privilege to share this piece of Montana with those who come to enjoy its beauty. Fill in date, party size, trip duration, and start time above to book and get out there with Captain Dan and Captain Experiences!
