What types of brown trout fishing trips are common in Montana?

River fishing is the most popular type of fishing for brown trout in Montana as well as lake fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Montana are fly fishing, wading, and drift fishing but sight casting and topwater fishing are popular as well.

How much does a Montana brown trout fishing trip cost?

Prices for brown trout in Montana can range anywhere from about $600 to $2,800, but the average price for a half day trip for brown trout in Montana is $939. The average price for a full day trip for brown trout in Montana is $1,590.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for brown trout fishing in Montana?

    We had a great trip with Jordan. He was patient with beginning fly fishermen and told good stories. We caught several small trout on our trip.

    Trip: Yellowstone River Float Trips

  • ★★★★★
    Nate - Thank you for putting together another awesome trip, this time down the Missouri River. Drew and Will were great guides and they worked their butts off to keep us in big fish all day. Given the high temps were in the upper 50’s and were constantly 18 - 22 mph; this did not slow these two guides down at all! They continually were changing patterns and depths. They continually rowed us across and back up stream to keep os on fish all day long. Thank you, Jim, Deborah, Tina and Terry

    Trip: Missouri River Full-Day Float

    Nate - We had a fabulous trip down the Madison River on Thursday. Ryan and Matt were phenomenal guides! Both worked extremely hard to put us on fish; changing patterns as needed and crossing the River to keep us in the seams. Thank you, Jim Deborah, Tina and Terry

    Trip: Madison River Float

  • ★★★★★
    Our day with Nate’s guide Patrick was an awesome experience. Patrick is a true professional, keeps things simple for beginners and was a pleasure to get to know. The experience would have been great even without catching anything but his knowledge of the Madison resulted in several catches including brown and rainbow trout and several whitefish. Great experience!
