Home · Waters · Montana
Our home water runs cold and clear.
Missoula's canyon rivers and spring creeks are where our guides grew up fishing — wild browns, rainbows and cutthroats rising to dries from April through October.
The water
Classic Western dry-fly fishing.
Montana is the beating heart of Ospreyline: thirteen miles from basecamp to the first boat ramp, with a dozen stretches we rotate so you never float tired water. Expect salmonfly hatches in June, hopper season in August, and blue-winged olives all fall.
- Brown, rainbow and westslope cutthroat trout on dry flies.
- Prime season April through October, peaks in June and September.
- Free half-day casting school included with every first trip.
- Drift boats, walk-wade sessions, and lodge stays at basecamp.
