Stopped by there today to pick up a few flies. The gentleman was knowledgeable and hooked me up with a deadly combo and explained to fish a double nymph rig with split shot. Well…I had a great day catching fish on the river thanks to his advice! I will be coming back! Thank you again!

We had a blast. We brought our four daughters and wasn’t sure how much they would enjoy. Well three more women are joining the sport. Mike (my husband an my guide) was so awesome and patient. Thank you for such a wonderful beautiful day.

I recently went on a full-day float trip with Wild Trout Outfitters in Big Sky, Montana, on the Upper Madison River. Brenden was my guide – he's one awesome guy! He showed me all the essential points of fly fishing. He also has a great sense of humor (we were pretty much cracking up the whole day), and as a complete novice to fly-fishing, he had me catching fish in no time. The drive from the Outfitters to where we put the boat in the water was a little over an hour drive, but it flew by. I had great conversations with Brenden the whole way there and back, and that part of Montana is off-the-rails scenic. We drove past Hebegen Lake and Earthquake Lake, we saw a grizzly bear, and all sorts of rugged, beautiful views. Back on fishing - once I got the hang of it, which was pretty quick (thanks, Brenden!) I caught a bunch of fish, including a few brown trout and a beautiful rainbow trout. The weather was terrific, even with a few rain showers – the rain just added to the "you're 100% in nature now" experience. I'm not gonna lie; I had pretty high expectations and, as a non-fisherman, no small amount of anxiety. With that said, the whole trip blew me away! I know I'll be talking about fly fishing to anyone who'll listen for weeks! I highly recommend Wild Trout Outfitters and Brenden as your guide for anyone looking for an unforgettable fly-fishing experience.

I gifted my husband a half day of fly fishing for his birthday. He had an awesome time fishing on the Gallatin River. The instructor, Terran was great! Thanks for the great experience. Highly recommend Wild Trout Outfitters.

I cannot recommend Wild Trout Outfitters enough for any trip you might be taking to Big Sky! I took a group of 7 other people as part of my bachelor party and we had an amazing time! The staff is super knowledgeable and very accommodating to any skill level. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned angler, Wild Trout Outfitters will show you the experience of a lifetime. The price is well worth the experience!

I can not say enough good about this trip. Our family did the 6 passenger boat trip with Travis. We wanted a fun day on the lake with fishing, boating, tubing, just a little something for everyone and Travis delivered. He was so awesome. (Like, we want to adopt him and take him back to TN with us!!) Lunch was amazing as well!! Brats, burgers, Homemade potato salad!!! Definitely a high light of our Wyoming/Montana summer vacation.

Wild Trout Outfitters and its guides are incredible. Our family spent a fun half-day learning to fly fish with Mike and Brenden. Thanks to their instruction, patience and encouragement, we learned a lot, caught fish and had a blast. We also spent a full day touring Yellowstone with Matt, where we saw breathtaking scenery and plentiful wildlife (wolves, bison, elk, bear), and even enjoyed a picnic on Yellowstone Lake. Everything was easy and very well worth it. Thank you for helping us make fabulous memories! See you next time!

Called them up for a same day trip, on Memorial Day holiday nonetheless. A quick call by the shop to Justin (one of the guides) and he said he could meet me in as little as 15 minutes. Trip was awesome! Landed a bunch of fish and went hunting for a bigger one. Justin was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and a genuine dude. Whether the fish were biting or not (and they were) this was a quality trip!

Spent a full day wade fishing the Gallatin with Nick. He was excellent. Very patient, timely with his instructions, details about where the fish are holding, explained his setups in detail including building his leaders and why he uses certain flies. He helped me become a better fisherman that day and certainly a better caster. We caught plenty of fish but it would've been a great day even if it was slow. JD helped get everything setup. Highly recommended and I can't wait to get back out with them.

JD and staff are fantastic. Big shout out to him and guides Paul and Tom. We received alot of great information when booking the Yellowstone trip and fly fishing. Both guides were patient and very knowledgeable. I whole heartedly recommend them if you are looking for a great time along with a better understanding of the Montana wilderness and wildlife.

I highly recommend this fly fishing guide. I stayed at Big Sky resort for work retreats and booked 3 guides for 8 people. JD did a great job on the call to ensure the booking went smoothly for all of us. I went with a guide named Justin, and I had a fantastic time! It was my first time doing fly fishing, and Justin was very patient and fun to interact with. I caught 6 fish, and the other guy caught several. The other guys in different groups caught a lot of fish as well. They also had a great time, and one of us booked again at the last minute for the next day because he enjoyed it a lot. If I ever visit Big Sky again, I will be sure to book with Wild Trout Outfitters again!

What an introduction into Fly Fishing. Had an absolute blast that sparked a new found passion in my life that I'm excited to share with my son. Brenden was a great teacher, guide, and just a good person to talk fishing and life with. Thanks to all the guys at Wild Trout Outfitters - hope to see you all again!

I booked very last minute and they were able to accommodate and made the process extremely easy. Ben was my guide and we had a blast, he was awesome! Super nice guy and a great teacher! I am a very inexperienced fly fisherman and he put me on a bunch of really nice fish! Easily one of the best fishing experiences I have had and would definitely do this again and recommend to others!
