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

Mar 06, 2025

Now is a great time to fish our local spring creeks, winter rates are cheap, and spaces are pretty open. The warm temperatures this week should get the bugs active. Sub surface Midge's in 18-22 are what's on the menu. Be sure to give your creek of choice a call to see what else is working well.
