Our Blue Ribbon Files float trip was a great experience from the phone booking through the whole adventure. Our guide, Wyatt, was phenomenal. He has a real passion for fishing. He knows the local fish, when to fish, and had a variety of lures to use. He was awesome in getting the float boat to the sweet spots. He was excellent at reminding us about our form, our casts, and provided coaching in a nice way. He also is super knowledgeable about the area, historical facts, hunting, birds, and bars. : ) I highly recommend Wyatt and Blue Ribbon. Everyone was super helpful start to finish.

First time fishing Yellowstone so I came in for some flies and information. Was greeted warmly and helped by an enthusiastic older gentlemen who gave me the some fly tips like dropper and hopper rig as well as some locations to check out.Literally the first cast in the area recommended with the rig I land a nice 15in cutthroat followed by 6 more within an hour. These guys are the real deal! Definitely worth a stop if you're planning on fishing YNP.

Love coming in here and supporting this place. The guys are always really friendly, and don’t hesitate to suggest the right setup for fishing in the park. Great selection of flies and good location hitting them on your way into the park entrance.

Just finished my first trip with BRF. I went in with zero experience. Tom and Wyatt with BRF provided an unforgettable experience and have me hooked on fly fishing. I plan on being back every year.

63 years old and this was on my bucket list. Live in Mississippi and fish a lot. It was a dream come true! Wonderful company and cannot express my appreciation for my guide (Brian). Never had been fly fishing and I literally am hooked! This old girl sure had her dream come true! Already planning a trip next year! You can bet I will request Brian. Do yourself a favor and go! This company was very professional but also personal! So, so proud I found about this company!

We visited Montana last week and had a float trip on the Madison river with Patrick of Blue Ribbon Flies. He was exceptional! He was simultaneously an educator and a guide…exactly the person that you would want on the water with you for a day. It was a wonderful experience and I came out not only more informed as a fisherman but also managed to bag some fish at the same time. If you’re looking for a top-tier fly fishing experience then look no further than Blue Ribbon Flies!

We've done 4 or 5 guided trips over the last few years with Blue Ribbon, and every guide has been great, but this year we worked with a guide named Patrick who is really phenomenal. He taught us so much and we really grew our skills over the two days we worked with him. He has a fantastic attitude, is super knowledgable, and takes real joy in watching his clients land big fish & enjoy themselves. From now on we will be booking our trips through Blue Ribbon based on Patrick's availability. We really look forward to coming back next year and getting back out there with Patrick. A quality I really appreciate about him is his passion for conservation and fishing with an awareness of how to protect the fish & the longevity of the sport in the area.In June we fished in Yellowstone & Patrick took us to some of his favorite spots off the beaten path, which we were able to return to on our own in the following days and catch fish. (this is especially valuable because the park can be hard to navigate if you aren't familiar with it & some of the features that can be dangerous to walk on). In July we fished the Madison with Patrick and I landed the biggest rainbow I've ever caught. He coached me through landing it, and now I feel much more confident in landing one like this when I'm out there on my own. He also really helped my boyfriend learn a lot about the terrain and how to watch for fish, and he landed a huge brown at the end of the day as Patrick coached him. It was so gratifying for all 3 of us to end the day on a high like that! THANK YOU PATRICK!!

Have been a regular customer over the last 10 years, I have appreciated the great selection of soft hackleFly’s that BRF have vetted and sell over the years .BRF long term experience in the region and their bent on testing on the patterns makes them my go to shop in the region. During the last two summers I have gone in 4 guided trips with Drew Mentzer. We have done floats as well as walk wade in the off the beaten path locales. It matters not if your seasoned or a newbie DrewIs there to help , giving all his knowledge and experience.He is a Pros Pro , he cares and his 20Plus years of experience works in his clients favor! One. Warning , don’t make fun of the cardinals baseball team, he may forget to cinch up your fly on your line?!!! He’s terrific!R

We had a wonderful day on the water with Patrick! Spent the morning catching Gulpers on the lake then drifted the river for the afternoon. Patrick was a fantastic coach, giving us pointers, reminders and tips throughout the day. We caught beautiful fish, learned a lot and most importantly, had a blast! Thank you Blue Ribbon Flies and Patrick for an absolutely amazing day. We appreciate it so much!
