Being from Southern California, we have never been fly fishing before but had an AMAZING day with Brad! He was knowledgeable, professional, patient and explained things clearly. Honestly the time flew by. Hands down, it was truly the best day of my vacation!! I can’t stop thinking about when I am going to go back and do it again and we will definitely be asking for Brad again. THANK YOU Brad!

Fished with a great guide 40 plus years of experience. Very nice guy. Caught about 8 fish and missed about 15. We were first time fly fisherman. I thought it was awesome!

Alec was a great guide on my and my son's first float on the Flathead River. He gave some good, patient instruction to my 12 year old son and got both of us on some great fish. I highly recommend Alec and will use him again in the future when we're in the area.

This shop is the most helpful “one stop shop” for fly fishing supplies and local information. The owner and staff are knowledgeable and ready to help. It’s the only fly shop I go to for supplies and help.

Fly fishing trip of a lifetime! Recently spent a week on the Missouri and a day trip on the Clark Fork with Big Fork Angler guide Sean Cannon. He is an exceptional guide putting us on the big fish. Sean takes the time to teach techniques and share pro tips making our fishing experience memorable. I’ve been on trips with Sean the last three years…no one better! His secret flies and boat lunches are the best. Kudos to Sean…I’d definitely recommend him if you want to spend time catching fish! Thanks Sean. Gino
