Montana Angler Fly Fishing, 76 Lucille Lane, Bozeman MT 59718
For the angling adventure of a lifetime combine
the Madison River's best fly fishing lodge
with the region's top Montana fishing guides.
A more perfect Montana fly fishing lodge is
hard to imagine. Many of our guests have
spent years fishing out of the many of the
world's top fishing lodges and they always rate
the "ranch" at the very top!
The lodge is located on the Channels section of the Madison River. If a day spent float fishing hasn't fulfilled your angling urges, make a few casts on "Jurassic Pond" to trophy trout following a gourmet meal. Better yet, take advantage of the private access to one of the best wade fishing sections of the river right behind the ranch.
The husband and wife team of Scott and Elizabeth Warren will make you feel right at home as soon as you arrive. Elizabeth is one of the nicest Montana women your will ever meet and Scott is a chef beyond comparison. The dining room provides a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere that fosters an air of fellowship among people who share common interests. Throw in spectacular mountain views, abundant wildlife, and clean spacious rooms and it is no wonder that over 70% of the guests are returning customers!

The Channels Lodge also offers a massive commons area with private kitchen and living area that can be reserved exclusively for your own group.

Dining
Chef Scott Warren has been with the Madison Valley Ranch for 10 seasons. Using only the freshest products, the evening's four-course meal reflects Scott's creativity and passion for delivering truly memorable meals. Even after a full buffet breakfast, don't be surprised if you leave the lodge in anticipation of the evening's menu! Scott is a professionally trained chef with an honors degree in culinary arts from Western Culinary Institute and continuing education from CIA, Greystone in Napa Valley. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Madison Valley Ranch and looks forward to sharing it with our guests.
"After a day spent in the outdoors, the chance to come back to a meal from world-class chef Scott Warren is a fitting end to the day. Using the finest local ingredients as well as imported mainstays, Scott sets a table that ranks at the top of lodge cuisine anywhere in the world."

Testimonial
"I can easily say that this was a great trip. Brett Seng was a real pleasure to fish with and worked hard to put us onto big fish. By the end of the trip we both felt like we were fishing with a friend rather than a paid fishing guide. He has a great knowledge and passion for the sport of fly fishing. I look forward to fishing with him again in the future. Additionally, the Madison Valley Ranch is a first class fishing lodge. The food was superb and the staff made us feel as though we were at home. I heartily recommend both Montana Angler and Madison Valley Ranch for anyone who is looking for a great fly fishing package. They will not be disappointed."
