"We had an amazing Smith River trip. Every element exceeded my expectations. I want to specifically call attention to the stellar work of the camp and gear crew - Nelson, Angus, and Heather thoroughly spoiled us at camp and meals. The guide staff was exemplary - especially Carter who took care to ensure that our day in his boat was a great experience. He closely watched our technique and gave great pointers for improvement. Every day was a great day of fishing but it was a learning experience with Carter which made it really special! I don't have any suggestions for improvement at all. It was a class A experience from start to finish." -Arrus F 

"Our Smith River trip could not have been better. The guides and staff were incredible. Great people you will be proud to call friends when it is over. I'm not your standard happy with everything guy, and can be particular, but this group did not miss a trick. I haven't fly fished for 20 years- and by the end of the week could drop a nymph on a quarter at 40 feet. We caught plenty of fish, ate great food (and a lot of it), saw the most incredible scenery, and the staff was on top of everything, down to picking camp sites with the best shade and swimming for an evening dip. Our group had diehard fisherman and newbies- everyone caught fish and left happy. I'd work for this company but they work too hard! Highly recommend."  - Fred M

"Our guide Mike Hogan put us on some nice fish, both days, and he is very entertaining. Was blown away with his knowledge of old school rock and roll and country music, he also kept my wife laughing with his knowledge about the Kardashian’s (Khloe) is his favorite! At camp we meet Dana, our camp host/cook, this guy had a beautiful camp set up, candles on the dinner table, wine glasses and some really good Cabernet. For dinner he cooked stuffed mushrooms, NY strip, red potatoes,and salad, all were fantastic. A big beautiful spinach,cheese omelette with bacon, and great camp coffee. This is a first class outfit and would highly recommend to use them!" -Bobby Small

"From the spectacular fall colors to the stunning architecture, landscaping, and design of the lodge, you would be hard-pressed to find a better setting for a weekend or week's getaway. Top it off with Chef Rory's superb culinary creations, a selection from the wine cellar, hiking, biking, hunting, wildlife watching and guided fly fishing on several blue ribbon trout streams, and perfection approaches!" -John H

"Just wanted to send you a quick note thanking you for the unbelievable experience we just had. This was our first company retreat and our crew is still talking this morning about the unbelievable trip they just had. The fishing was awesome and the guides were great. We cannot say enough about the lodge, location, amenities and hospitality. Needless to say we are all on a diet for the next week. I have fished for a number of years and been to a number of great lodges up the coast of British Columbia. I have had great experiences at them all but nothing like what I experienced this past weekend. For me this was a bucket list trip.  We all look forward to returning to Montana and staying with you again. When I messaged my wife on Thursday night to let her know we arrived safe she asked me what it was like there. I replied 'I just found heaven'."  -Victor Cimaglia

"Bill was fantastic (despite the crappy weather). He was absolutely GREAT with my 9-year old son and I am sure that the experience will be something that stays with him for life. I can’t thank you enough for squeezing us in at the last minute! You have a GREAT guide working for you!"

"Thanks for making my 30th anniversary and dream vacation the most memorable of my life.  My wife surprised me by booking this fishing trip with you after being deployed in Iraq for two years.  I could not of asked for a better home coming. When you come to Tampa please call so I can return the favor."

"I had to drop you a note and tell you how great my trip to Montana was with Montana Anglers. Fishing on the Madison was awesome especially doing the happy dance of fighting a fish while Adam kept the boat from ramming into boulders. Exciting and way cool. The untouched beauty of Willow Creek is something every angler should see but I hope they don't because I will be back to fish it again. I never thought I would have a 50 plus fish day but it happened and I will always remember the adventure of four wheeling and hiking to get to the creek. The float on the upper Yellowstone through Yankee Jim canyon was amazing. Miles could hold the boat in the calm pockets while the rapids ran along side of the boat all the while I caught some nice cutthroats. Both of the guides, Adam and Miles, I fished with are pros. They know their business and gave insightful instruction when needed. Best of all they enjoyed the fishing as much as I did. When anyone mentions fishing I will always recommend Montana Angler. Thanks guys I'll be back in couple years first though maybe Patagonia."

"We took some very good customers on this trip so our expectations were high. None of us had been to Montana so we didn’t exactly know what to expect. Brian and Montana Angler Fly Fishing made sure we had as much information about the trip as possible and were ready to answer any and all of my questions. Upon arrival on Sunday I lost the directions to the Outpost. I e-mail Brian and within minutes had exactly what I needed to drive directly to the cabins as well as a follow up phone call.  From the first call to the last meal everyone involved was helpful, professional, and fun to be around. Simon is a great cook and keep us wonder if he could top the last meal. I haven’t even talked about the fishing… The guides were knowledgeable and had personalities which made the day that much more enjoyable."

"We booked an AK fly-fishing trip to Intricate Bay Lodge through Montana Angler on the recommendation that it would be perfect for a couples trip (read - perfect for the wife to fish). From the packing list to commuter flight details, information was laid out for us in order to make it a seamless vacation. The lodge, staff, food (gluten free amazingness to accommodate our needs), and of course the fish were absolutely spectacular. We would highly recommend and hope to return to catch the big one that got away."  -Matt Callahan

"My friends and I have been coming to Bozeman, MT for a week of fly fishing for over six years. We began using Brian and Miles as our guides two years ago and would never go back to anyone else.  Our trips have risen to a whole different level as far as diversity and excitement. The McGeehan’s can fish areas no other guide can touch due to their skill and use of rafts. We have had some truly phenomenal fishing days in water that gets very little fishing pressure because of limited access. I will never forget my trip in Yankee Jim Canyon in 2008.  We caught more fish than I could even count! Also, I have very much enjoyed trips to places such as the Sitz Ranch and Willow Creek that I would have never known existed or had access to without Brian and Miles."

"If you want to fly fish in Montana, you need to go through Montana Angler Fly Fishing. They are very thorough, well connected and highly respected in Montana. I was able to enjoy a truly remarkable fly fishing experience thanks to Montana Angler. I look forward to using their services again in the future!"

"You run a first class operation. I could not be more pleased with every aspect of our trip. Our guides Nate, John and Chris were excellent.This trip was on my wife's bucket list and they did all the extras to make it special. My son in law had never been west of the Mississippi and he fell in love with Montana. Many thanks. We are already talking about a return trip."
Rusty Ethridge

"Two years ago, we did two float trips with you and your brother, Miles, on the Madison, one with my son and one with my brother-in-law.  We are still talking about what wonderful experiences those were.  I couldn’t believe how hard you guys worked and the service you provided.  When Miles pulled a propane burner out of the boat and made us a grilled chicken Caesar salad on a sandbar in the middle of the Madison, it about blew me away. I tell everyone who is interested that your guided trips are the best value for money of any recreational or service dollars I have ever spent."
Jim Kane ~ California

"We had a WONDERFUL time on our fishing trip, thank you for all of your help setting it up. Everyone caught multiple fish and my 8 year old nephew loved it. Both Doug and Bill were fabulous--not only were they extremely friendly and fun to be around but also very helpful and informative in helping us have a fun and successful day. Even the lunch break was great! It really was the perfect way to end our trip and might have been our favorite activity of our entire trip. We were so thrilled with the trip and are very happy we booked through Montana Angler! You are welcome to use any of the above as a testimonial on your site and I've also attached two pictures."
