  • We bring outfitted fly fishing trips online - a network of guide with photos, profiles, and schedules all available to review from your computer or phone and a booking process entirely online
  • We put guides first because happy guides bring good vibes - we pay guides more than other outfitters, we ask guides to tell their unique stories, and we trust guides to manage their seasons

GUIDE-X Clark Fork Fishing Report: 6/10/2021
  Clark Fork River Fishing Report: 6/10/2021 River Score: 2/5 Poor The Clark Fork is still experiencing Runoff; it's typically one of the last rivers to form up for good fishing conditions. We're expecting better conditions in later June with the tributaries open back up. Right now it's just too muddy and high to be a good fishing experience We can still fish here if you'd like, but we recommend you check out our other locations and Fishing Reports. Current Hatches: skwalas, march browns, baetis Weather   Water Flow Speed River Discharge Levels

GUIDE-X Bitterroot River Fishing Report: 6/8/2021
River Score: 3/5 Okay   The Bitterroot River is finally recovering from the runoff of late May. The lower ends of the river are still dirty and will need some more time before they make for proper fishing. The upper ends of the river, however, are fishable, and Nymphs are the name of the game. As the lower end of the river cleans up in the weeks to come, dry fly fishing should become a viable option. If you're ready to get out there and start fishing, make sure you pickup a fishing license! Check out our information on getting a fishing license online. Book a trip with us at GUIDE-X.

GUIDE-X Missouri River Fishing Report: 5/27/2021
  River Score: 4/5 Great   The Missouri River has seen some heavy traffic lately with all of the other rivers suffering from a serious case of “runoff”, but it hasn’t slowed the fishing down one bit. We would have rated the river a full 5/5 if it weren’t for a recent week of historic rainfall, but the Deerborn is already starting to drop and things should return to normal in just a day or two (in other words, the river should clear up quickly). The fish are still eating a wide variety of different fly patterns. The best news is that the crayfish has started to produce some really big brown trout. The March browns and blue wing olives have also continued to come off in large numbers when the wind isn’t too bad. We have also started to see some PMD’s and caddis are also starting to move around as well. Missouri is easily the best option in Montana at the moment. If you're

GUIDE-X Blackfoot River Fishing Report: 5/18/2021
River Score: 2/5 Poor The Blackfoot is experiencing raising water levels with increased runoff as the warm weather causes the ice on the lakes to melt off. Water flow speed is increasing as well, making this much more boating conditions than wading. Regardless, we recommend big flies to help the fish see your casts. We can still fish here if you'd like, but we recommend you check out our other locations on our Missoula Fishing Report List. If you do want to head out, make sure you have a fishing license.
