Welcome to River Knight Outfitters! The Madison River is a fishing gem in southwestern Montana, a hidden treasure worth discovering! With Sphynx Mountain always at sight, the river cuts through the Madison, Gravely, and Tobacco Root Mountain Ranges, eventually reaching the Missouri River. The Madison River, as a tailwater, has fishing opportunities all year and produces a variety of bugs for the Trout to eat.
You’ll be fishing on a 15’ Ro boat that accommodates up to 2 guests. This drift boat will take you to your fishing spot with ease and you can count on a reliable ride.
A fishing trip during the famous Salmon fly hatch will leave you with a bucket full of tasty fish meat by the end of the day. Casting your line in order to catch these wild Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Cutthroat is an unforgettable experience!
The captain will take care of your fly fishing equipment, drinks, and lunch. You’‘ll need to bring your fishing licenses and pack any other food and drinks you prefer.
River Knight Outfitters has experienced guides on the Madison and surrounding rivers in southwest Montana. They welcome all skill levels and will make sure you have a great day on the water! Let’s go fishing!

Absolutely Perfect Adventure
Full Day Trip on June 11, 2025 • 2 adults
Just got done with a father-son first-time fly fishing day trip… could not ask for a better time!! Stephen was an awesome guide and teacher, truly went above and beyond (ask him about “Lost Cast Rock”), and was cheery and kind the entire way down. We got a ton of bites, and ended up catching more than our fair share for a random day on the river (seriously, we kept getting catches within five minutes of putting in new flys and had to pull over for release several times). I would highly recommend these guys, especially if you’re a first timer learning the ropes and wanting to catch some good ones out there. 5 stars, 11/10, whatever your scale. Thanks yall!

Our trip ended up being on the Missouri River instead of the Madison per Stephen, the fishing guides recommendation. He told us Madison was muddy and the fishing was going much better on the Missouri. So we agreed to the change of plans and everything went great. Stephen was patient, very knowledgeable and an excellent guide. I caught the biggest rainbows I’ve ever caught on a fly rod and my buddy caught several nice rainbows as well. As a novice fly fishermen I learned some valuable lessons from Stephen which enabled me to land the big ones. Overall excellent experience! I would definitely book another trip through Knight River and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a guided fly fish experience in Montana.

Full Day Trip on June 24, 2023 • 2 adults
I planned a fishing trip for my dad’s birthday with River Knight Outfitters and we had a blast!! Fished a full day on the Missouri and a full day on the Blackfoot and we had an amazing time and caught some beautiful fish. Rick was a great guide! We caught our 1st rainbow trout within 30 seconds of fishing. He has extensive knowledge of the rivers and how to fish them and when you catch a fish, he gets just as excited about it as you do. Highly recommend booking with this outfitter.

This was one of the best days fishing. Rick Knight went out of his way to make sure we got the fish and had everything we needed. Looking forward to coming back again next year.
