Nate Stevane and Trout on the Fly are your one-stop-shop for fly fishing Montana. Nate and his crew of Damn Good Guides go wherever you can find Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout. Their guides are located in Bozeman, West Yellowstone, Ennis, Helena, Cascade, Three Forks, and Cameron, Montana and fish the Madison, Missouri, Yellowstone, Gallatin, Jefferson, Ruby, Firehole, Gibbon, Lamar, and Bighorn Rivers while also offering guided fly fishing trips on Holter, Hebgen, and Ennis Lakes and Soda Butte and Slough Creek.
Nate's Montana ties date back to the late 1800s when his great-great-grandfather decided to call Billings, Montana home after passing through as a cook on a cattle drive. While fishing was in Nate's blood, he didn't pick up a fly rod until 13, which is the age Nate dates his addiction to the sport back to.
Nate regularly explored the Bighorn, Yellowstone, Stillwater, and Boulder rivers and began guiding in 1999 while attending Montana State University.
Twenty-plus years later Nate is still guiding anglers, and enjoys imparting his knowledge to younger, up-and-coming guides. Nate couldn't image it any other way- he cherishes the opportunities he's had to work with anglers from age 8 to 90 of all skill levels, those with disabilities or terminal diseases, families, and large groups. As Nate puts it, "I know how important it is to take time to teach people the skills they need to get the most out of their fly fishing experience, making memories that last a lifetime for the client and for me."
Nate is a single father living in Bozeman, Montana with his two young daughters, Emily and Elizabeth. He makes a daily commute to the waters he guides and looks forward to exploring them with you and your friends.

Our experience with Nate and Trout on the Fly was definitely one to remember. My father, myself, a friend and his father, fished the Madison, Gallatin, and Missouri rivers in Montana with Trout on the Fly. With our skill levels being all over the map, Nate was very patient and showed exceptional expertise and patience while on our trip, and was a joy to be around. We all caught fish every day! We look forward to fishing again with Trout on the Fly!

Best outfitter / guide anywhere. Professional, competent, encouraging, thoroughly knowledgeable on the water, hatches, and fish. Maneuvers the drift boat with ease. Brings extras of everything just in case clients forget something. Flies? Literally thousands in his suitcase size boxes to meet any situation. Can untangle knots faster than Houdini. Never saw the need for a guide until I went out with Nate; now make time to fish with Trout on the Fly whenever in Montana. Learn something every trip and always have a great time. Wife even asks to come along to fish with Nate. Highly recommended and money well spent.
