Fishtales Outfitting – Madison River

Fishtales Outfitting is located between Bozeman and Missoula, Montana, an area known to fly fishermen worldwide as the "Trout Mecca".

Benefit from more than 70 years of combined experience that Michael Stack and his team bring to the company. Enjoy the Montana scenery as you should, with a fly rod in your hand and a smile on your face.

With ten Blue Ribbon Montana Trout streams plus their private water, all within easy reach, it has the ideal location to offer some of the best Trout fishing.

Capt. Michael aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like fly fishing. You’re looking at 8-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Cutthroat Trout, depending on the weather and time of year.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what matters, fishing! Please keep in mind you’ll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip, and the fishing is done without a boat.

Fishtales Outfitting offers only catch and release trips, so any fish you catch will be returned to the water. You’ll find free drinks and lunch for your convenience, but you’re always welcome to pack your drinks and snacks should you want to.

I grew up in the woods, learning hunting and fly fishing in Connecticut. With my grandfather as my mentor, an avid outdoorsmen and Connecticut State Park constable I honed my Trout fly fishing skills. I spent a season in Southwest Alaska which opened possibilities to Southwest Montana and its endless wild Trout streams. I ultimately settled down in Sheridan, where my wife Theresa and I raise our two children and a yellow labrador named Maggie.
