Missoula’s Best Fly Fishing Guides and Fly Shop
• ESTABLISHED 1987 •
Missoulian Angler has the Best Fly Fishing Guides in Missoula
Since 1987, Missoulian Angler has been the go-to outfitter for fly fishing in Western Montana—and we didn’t earn that reputation by accident.
Our guides aren’t just good; they’re legendary. They know every bend, riffle, and hidden honey hole on the Bitterroot, Blackfoot, and Clark Fork. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned angler, we’ll put you on fish and make sure you have an excellent time doing it.
Should have stopped by before fishing not after. 😂.
Jim spoke to Walker & Taylor to book our fly fishing trip.
Derek greeted us when we arrived at the shop.
Brian was our guide for the day. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient and an excellent teacher. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!
It was 94F that day. We didn't think we were going to catch any fish, due to the temperatures.
My husband caught 4 fish, 2 Rainbow Trout, 1 Brown Trout & 1 Cut Throat.
I caught 1 Rainbow Trout, 1 Brown Trout & 1 White Fish.
It was a fun, exciting and beautiful experience. We're excited to book again with Brian.
Thank you Brian & to everyone at The Missoulian Angler Fly Shop for making our day so memorable!
Happy July 4th!!!
