Our Guided Trips

Montana Trout Stalkers offers guided fly fishing trips custom tailored to meet your needs and goals.  We cater to all anglers and all skill levels, from bare beginners looking to catch that first Trout on a fly, to the seasoned angler seeking a good guide who knows the water well and the tactics required to fool fish.  Whatever your seeking in your next guided fishing trip, we will do our best to help you reach that goal.

We offer three basic types of trips: Full-Day, Half-Day, and Overnighters.  Please go to our Rates page for prices, deposit, and refund policies.

	Full-Day - Generally a 7-10 hour day departing between 6 and 10 in the morning. We provide transportation to and from Ennis, beverages, Lunch, guidance, instruction, and rods & reels if needed. We ask you to purchase you license and your terminal tackle. Trips on rivers other than the Madison are only offered as full day excursions.
	Half-Day - Generally 3-5 hours either in the morning, afternoon, or evening. We bring snacks and beverages.
	Overnight - These trips are arranged on an individual basis. We can do a number of different rivers for groups of up to six or eight guests.  Our specialty if the Madison River 2 day/ 1 night camp out trip. A great trip for friends or family. We provide everything except personal gear.  Please call or write to discuss the options in further detail.
	Smith River - We are a booking agent for several Smith River outfitters. Probably the best of all overnight river trips is the 5 day, 4 night float down the Smith. Click here for more details.
	3-Day Fly Fishing School – Our School is designed as an introduction to fly fishing for the beginner. We will teach you fly fishing from the ground up. Schools include: streamside instruction in casting, knots, flies, equipment, fishing tactics, insects & streamology, and lots of drift boat and wade fishing. Transportation, lunch, beverages, flies, leaders, and other equipment is also included.
	Mountain Lake Horseback Trips - This is really a must for anyone visiting Montana. Ride gentle horses to a beautiful alpine lake that's loaded with hungry Cutthroat Trout. We offer these trips in conjunction with our friend and fellow outfitter, Tim Beardsley.

We fish predominately from McKenzie style drift boats with occasional stops for wading, but walk & wade trips are also available.  These boats provide an effective and comfortable way to fish and see a lot of water.  A float trip is almost always a pleasant way to spend a day even if the fishing is less than great.

The fabled Madison River is our home stream.  We guide the majority of our trips on this wonderfully diverse freestone river anywhere from Hebgen Lake Dam to Three Forks, Montana.   However, we also offer Full-Day trips, and in some cases overnighters on the following Rivers: Big Hole, Beaverhead, Yellowstone, Ruby, Gallatin, Jefferson, Missouri, and BigHorn. Please refer to the Rivers We Fish  page for more in-depth river descriptions.

We ask you to buy your own flies, leaders, and licenses. Your guide will be able to provide all the other tackle you might need. In most cases, your guide will not hesitate to delve into his/her own arsenal of favorite fly patterns in order to get the job done.  Please click here  for a list of necessary equipment and recommended fly patterns.
