Montana is the destination many fly anglers dream about. Endless mountain ranges, blue-ribbon rivers, and wide-open landscapes have made Big Sky Country synonymous with world-class trout fishing. Whether floating beneath towering cliffs or wading a quiet mountain stream, Montana offers the kind of scenery and fishing that define the American West.
The state is home to legendary rivers like the Madison, Yellowstone, Missouri, Bighorn, Gallatin, Bitterroot, and Blackfoot. Healthy populations of brown, rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout thrive across Montana's diverse waters, while famous hatches of salmonflies, Pale Morning Duns, caddis, and blue-winged olives create unforgettable dry fly fishing throughout the season. From productive tailwaters to freestone rivers and alpine lakes, Montana offers nearly every style of trout fishing imaginable.
While trout rightfully steal the spotlight, Montana also provides excellent opportunities for warmwater and stillwater anglers. Smallmouth bass, northern pike, carp, and yellow perch can all be targeted with a fly, while many lakes produce trophy trout throughout the year. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, Montana has a way of reminding anglers why they fell in love with fly fishing in the first place.
These are the top selling patterns that have been shipped to Montana over the past 5 years
