John, Kade, and Riley were most helpful in my selection of a sling pack yesterday. I've never used one before, so it was a real learning experience for me. Especially when it came to outfitting and organizing what i would need for the river. Thanks, Guys!

Great place. Riley the manager did me right. Pointed out some good spots and flies. Caught a ton of fish as a result. Highly recommend

A friend and I swung by The Tackle Shop after a day on the Madison with marginal success. We were able to speak with Riley Smith whose advice and fly recommendations changed our fortunes as our success was phenomenal with his help. Many thanks to The Tackle Shop and Riley for a fabulous time on the Madison!
2017 Orvis Outfitter of the Year The Tackle Shop is Ennis Montana’s oldest fly shop, serving fly fisherman on the Madison River and all over Montana since 1937. We believe that all fishing should start with a healthy dose of fun. We feel there are no bad days with a fly rod in hand. We love the Madison River, Montana and inspire to show others. Our fly shop sits just a long cast away from the Madison River, near Yellowstone National Park and there are more Blue Ribbon Rivers within an hour drive of Ennis, than anywhere . On the Madison or any Montana water, we thrive on educational fun fly fishing experiences with mature guides. Float, wade or walk our guide’s connect every guest with unforgettable experiences in breathtaking settings.
