Give a Guided Fly Fishing Trip in Missoula

Some gifts get used once and forgotten. A day on the water in western Montana isn’t one of them. People talk about these trips for years. If you’re looking for a gift for someone who loves the outdoors, fly fishing, or Montana, a guided fly fishing trip out of Missoula is the kind of thing that actually means something.

Who This Works For

The person who has been talking about fly fishing Montana for years and never pulled the trigger. A dad who would never book something like this for himself. Two friends who’ve been saying they’re going to do a trip together since forever. A milestone birthday, a retirement, an anniversary, a Father’s Day gift that isn’t a tie. If the person matters to you and they love the outdoors, this works.

What You Can Gift

Half Day Float Trip: $550
Three to four hours on one of the rivers around Missoula with one of our guides. Snacks, drinks, all gear, and transportation included. A great starting point for someone who’s never fly fished before or is newer to the sport.

Full Day Float Trip: $675
A full day on the water with a streamside lunch included. This is the most popular way to experience guided fly fishing in Missoula and the one most people remember longest. A complete day on a Montana trout river with a guide who knows every bend of it.

Multi-Day Package: $1,695 per person
Three full days of guided fly fishing, four nights at the DoubleTree in Missoula, and your meals on the water. Available June 1 through October 31. If you want to give someone a real Montana fly fishing experience rather than a single afternoon, this is it. This is the trip that becomes a story they tell for the rest of their life.

No Experience Necessary

Plenty of these trips are someone’s first time holding a fly rod, and that’s exactly what our guides do best. They cover the casting, read the water, tie on the right flies, and put your person in the spots where fish are holding. The recipient doesn’t need to own a single piece of gear or know a thing about fly fishing. They just show up ready for a day on the river.

For an experienced angler, the day flexes the other way. The guide tailors everything to what they want out of it, whether that’s chasing big fish, fishing dry flies, or covering new water on one of the rivers around Missoula. Either way, it’s a real day of guided fly fishing, not a lesson in a parking lot.
