Posting this under my wife’s google account:Stopped in last October and rented a rod and waders, purchased a handful of flies, tippet, leaders, etc..Dude was helpful and kind. I’m a seasoned fly fisher with 20+ years experience in AK.Within 10-20 minutes of fishing I lifted the rod on what could have been a fish or my shot hooked on a rock and bam, the rod snaps in its mid section. Immediately took the rod back in as I had just rented it within the hour. Same guy acted surprised and slightly questioned me like I was lying about the sudden break. Gave me another rod and off I went. Upon returning the rental rod and waders he notified me he was going to charge me the repair cost! Seriously? It’s a rental rod! Who knows what idiot had it before me and likely nicked the graphite or did something to weaken it. I’ve broken my own rods under very little stress from a similar scenario. Just saying, when you go out with a guide and break a rod only by using it how it was intended to be used does he make you pay for it?? I’m sure it’s paid for itself over and over so to give some petty repair charge is absurd. Especially since he rented me a damaged rod and acted like I slammed it in the car door or something a clown would do.I told him I was sorry I ever set foot in the store. And that’s the truth. It’s not about the $$ it’s about the principle. Don’t rent rods if you can’t afford to do the upkeep. It’s that simple.Disappointed customer- Phil Roake- October 2022

Robert was our guide and he made the day so much fun! Had a shortened full day due to Montana state Regs but we caught a bunch of fish and laughed a lot! Robert was super patient with my son who is a newer fly fisherman but had him landing a bunch of fish. Highly recommend bitterroot fly company. Very professional and great communication.

The owner knows her flys! Just leave your politics at the border and don't mess with her guns! ?✌️?

Worse guide trip ever!! Lack of communication and information. Guide was not knowledgeable and could barely control the boat. Didn't know what gear to use. He was nice though. Won't be back

Our Guide, Scott, did a fantastic job for us. We did an all day scenic float. Been hot & dry in MT so the Bitterroot River was low. So many times he had to jump out and maneuver us off the rocks. He remained calm and always professional.
The views were AMAZING, a day I will cherish !!! Thx Bitterroot Fly Co & Scott for making a vacation dream come true.

We are so happy we got in contact with Bitterroot Fly Company. Rob was a fantastic guide and boats man as well as a wonderful person to spend a day on the river with. The shop has all the flies and supplies you could possibly ask for. Matt was also extremely helpful and helped us with all of the information we needed in order to have one of the greatest fishing trips of our lives. Highly recommend these guys and hope to be back in Darby as soon as possible!

Rafting trip was a blast. We had a great relaxing float down the bitterroot river. Water was really flowing which made it even more fun. Our guide was super good! saw lots of wildlife. Thank you

Jim shared his knowledge freely and enthusiastically. He put us on the fish and was always enjoyable and fun. Never even lost his temper untangling the 100s of tangles two novices could make. 10/10

BFC has some of the best guides i've ever fished with in SW Montana. Overall just good people. Professional, patient and fun. My 11 yr old who had never fly fished before had an amazing experience. We lost count of how many fish she moved to her fly. I'm looking forward to fishing with BFC in the not too distant future.

Jim was so patient with us. It was everything we had hoped for. Started early morning, went all day long. Would do this again in a heartbeat.

We had a great time fishing with Matt Saxson. The whole experience with the Bitterroot Fly Company was amazing. Matt who works in the shop was great, helped us with everything we needed. We met Bonnie the owner and she was a super nice lady and very helpful. Very friendly and professional all the way around. Loved it.
