About Montana Troutfitters
Montana Troutfitters is Bozeman's oldest fly fishing shop, serving anglers since 1978 from their location on West Main Street in the Beaverpond Plaza. The shop carries a comprehensive selection of rods, reels, flies, waders, and accessories from top brands, and their staff are all experienced anglers with deep knowledge of local hatches and river conditions.
Their guide service runs float and wade trips on the Gallatin, Madison, Yellowstone, Missouri, and Big Hole rivers — covering virtually every blue-ribbon trout stream within driving distance of Bozeman. Trips are available year-round, with summer dry-fly fishing, fall streamer season, and winter nymphing all on the menu. They also offer casting lessons and fly-tying classes for anglers looking to sharpen their skills.
What keeps locals and visitors coming back is the no-pressure, knowledge-first approach. The shop publishes detailed weekly fishing reports, and staff are genuinely happy to help rig up a new setup or point a walk-in angler toward the best water for the day. Nearly five decades of continuous operation make Troutfitters one of the most trusted names in Montana fly fishing.
