Montana Troutfitters is Bozeman’s oldest fly fishing shop Since 1978

Nov 25, 2025

Nymphing will be your best tactic this time of year Scuds, Sows, baetis, midges and your go to perdigons are getting fish in the net. We’re starting to see a little color on upper 3 so the pork and beans (egg & worm) combo would be worth a shot.

Streamer fishing has been good as well, bring your heavy sink tips or poly leaders and fish the troughs. Small leech and buggers have been the ticket along with a Rusty Trombone or a Thin mint.
