PLEASE FEEL FREE TO INQUIRE FOR ANY DAYS AS THERES A GOOD CHANCE A GUIDE IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU!

Fishtales Outfitting is your ticket to a full-day fishing adventure on Montana’s Beaverhead River!

Capt. Mike and his team of expert guides are here to get you on some Trout and to help you submerse in nature and enjoy the day in every way. He aims to make your trip more personable and customized to suit your needs and preferences. As part of the 8-hour trips, you can target species like Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Cutthroat Trout, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

The Captain likes to drift fish but also enjoys walk/wade trips and loves to take the time to ensure you make the most out of your excursion. Your fishing adventure will be on foot and on a 14’ Clackacraft boat that can safely take up to 2 anglers. This boat features an ice box. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on fly fishing.

Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. Bait isn’t included in the trip price, so check with the captain about what your options are before the trip. These trips are only catch-and-release, so any fish you catch will be returned to the water.

The price of your trip also includes complimentary snacks, drinks, and lunch, but you’re welcome to bring your own. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests. Kids are welcome to join. The captain will agree with you on the departure point before the trip.

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