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

The 'stone is a great option right now. Flows have been consistently decreasing. Nocturnal stones are out and active, chubbies work well as an imitation. Fish are pretty spread out so dry-droppers and deep nymph rigs will both have their moments. Dry-fly fishing has been excellent up higher with hoppers and attractors. Streamer fishing is decent with flashy bugs.
