"I have been fishing all over Montana for 25 years. The last two years on the Missouri with Trevor have been some of my most memorable. My son and I have caught big numbers of trophy quality fish. Unlike some other guide experiences I have had, with Trevor you come away feeling that he genuinely cares that you have enjoyed your day. The day I depart is the first day I start looking forward to our next trip."

Missouri River Montana Fly Fishing Guide
"I fished with Trevor last year on the Missouri River by Craig, Montana. My son and I hooked and landed 15-20" fish ALL DAY LONG. My club and I are fishing with Trevor and his guides for 9 days this year (2010)."

The Mo is an absolute bug factory that drifts 32+ miles from rolling vistas to a craggy canyon, out into a spectacular prairie. With thousands of fish per mile and a huge river it is truly a delight to fish. With rising fish from the middle of April until November, there really aren't too many factors that can make the Missouri unproductive. My primary tactic is dry fly fishing and long floats so we can always be in fresh water. Despite the Missouri's world-renowned status, there are many days when we never see another boat. Unlike the waters surrounding Missoula and Bozeman, the Missouri doesn't get loved to death and it is big enough that even on a crowded day it is possible to fish in tranquility. If you find yourself paying a guide to take you fishing in crowded water you are making a big mistake. There is an amazing difference between sore-lipped trout that are terrified of flies, and fish that are relatively unmolested.
Rainbows and Browns range from 15 inches to well over 2 feet. Take a look at my photo gallery to look at some of these fish. The hatches on the Missouri are prolific and include Mayflies, Caddis, Midges, and a couple of Stoneflies. The terrestrial fishing is also great with Hoppers, Ants, and Beetles. I enjoy teaching anglers techniques and detailing intricacies.
