Ruby River Fly Fishing | Montana Angler Fly Fishing

The Ruby River is a spectacular small river fishery located in the beautiful Ruby Valley. Just 30 minutes from
Ennis and and hour from Bozeman, the short commute is worth it to fish the Ruby. For such a small body of
water, it holds suprisingly large trout. Dominated by browns, most of the fish run between 14-18" with fish over
20" a real possibility. The ruby is a fickle river and it runs the spectrum from blazing hot to icy cold. Although the
Ruby is not as famous as some of its larger neighbors, our guides consider it as one of the regions top
Montana fly fishing rivers.

Our Montana fishing guides keep constant tabs on the water levels on the river and we know when the Ruby is
ripe for the picking. Knowledge of the river is also a must to have a chance at success and we can take you to
many of our favorite honey holes that are off of the beaten path.

When the Ruby river is "on", you will be amazed that every little bucket seems to produce six or seven strong
browns with terrific average size. Nymph fishing and streamer fishing are usually the ticket on the Ruby,
although we sometimes catch it during a good PMD hatch and have a great time throwing dries.

If you have a few days to fish and enjoy wading, a guided wade fishing trip to the Ruby river should be on your
list. Many of our guests enjoy staying in Ennis to target the Madison river. With the Ruby just a short drive away
from the larger Madison, we find this is a great side excursion to add a little diversity to multi day Montana fly
fishing trips.
