He is a Madison river fly fishing specialist and you will be hard pressed to find another guide that is as patient, courteous and hard working as Chris. Although he enjoys throwing hoppers as much as anyone, his real passion is dragging massive bunny fur streamers through the productive riffles of the Madison to hook up on the monster cannibalistic brown trout that live there.

Slade began his guiding career in Wyoming but came to Bozeman in 2005 to study marketing at MSU and eventually moved the bulk of his guide days to the Big Sky state. He has an uncanny ability to quickly sniff out where the trout are holding on any given day or river which only comes from a lifetime of experience chasing wild trout across the west. Slade is an accomplished Spey rod instructor and makes frequent trips to Washington and Oregon to chase coastal steelhead in the offseason. His passion for fishing is truly contagious and a day on the water with him will surely enhance your appreciation for Montana's blue ribbon waters.
Matt Morris

Matt is the kind of guy that makes mortal men jealous. There isn't a week that goes by that he isn't fishing, skiing, hiking or rafting. He spends over 140 days a year guiding fishing trips on Montana waters and in the offseason he frequently dissappears for weeks at a time only to return with stories of do it yourself flats fishing in the Honduras or hiking 20 miles in a day to fish in New Zealand. Matt is as "fishy" as they come, he always seems to be parked in the honey hole...usually with plenty of bent rods and smiling faces. Matt is an expert on the oars and has rowed big whitewater in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. He is one of our go to guides for off the beaten path trips to seldom fished canyon stretches. He attended the University of Alaska and Montana State University where he earned a B.A. in K-8 education.

"Thank you so much for setting up all of our trips. The guides were all exceptional and we enjoyed three great days out on the water. I personally fished with Casey, (maybe the best guide I have ever fished with and a great guy) , Ryan ( another extremely talented teacher who really taught me a new way to nymph and an exceptionally bright and engaging guy) and Matt.. (really a great guy, good fisherman - he got me on a big 19.5" brown). My wife and daughter loved fishing with Miles and caught a ton of fish while being thoroughly entertained by his stories from his recent trip to Canada. I also thought Sean was a really knowledgeable fishing guide, really a student of the river. My buddies all loved it and a couple want to go get fly rods and better still, all of my daughters loved it. You did a great job Brian and I really appreciate you setting me up with the crème de la crème of guides and being so responsive! Thanks I will call you again to fish - without question."
