MONTANA FLY FISHING

 TWIN BRIDGES MONTANA


Welcome to the Stonefly Inn & Outfitters, Montana's "Last Best Fly Fishing Lodge", located in the heart of Montana's Blue Ribbon Trout Country. 

Based in Twin Bridges, we are licensed outfitters on the Big Hole, The Beaverhead, The Madison, The Jefferson, the Missouri and the Ruby Rivers. That's right - there is over three hundred miles of world class Montana fly fishing water within an hour’s drive of your cabin door.

FIVE MONTANA FLY FISHING RIVERS TO CHOOSE FROM

FIVE Blue Ribbon Rivers. Six guest cabins, great steaks and the best guides in the zip code. Join us here at The Stonefly Inn and let us show you our definition of "Montana's best fly fishing". Because when it’s over, the fishing was just one part of your Montana fly fishing vacation.

2012 Season Forecast

As many of you experienced last season, the "Draught" seems to be a thing of the past. Our forecast for the 2012 season is one where we see bank full rivers well into our summer season. Once again, our fishing will certainly reap some benefits of a large snowpack.  

Some historical dates that fill quickly, and offer some of the best Montana has to offer are in Mid to Late June. Even on the largest of snowpack years, the Big Hole River drops and clears quicker than any other river in the state. When others are tying flies and dreaming of getting on the river, we are floating long drifts and catching brown trout as fast as you can get it in the water!

Even if we cannot accomodate you, we would be happy to reccomend some alternative locations and outfitters that we work with on a regular basis.  

Give us a call or send us an email for more information - we look forward to helping you!

YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN MONTANA WHEN......

"Down South" means Wyoming...

Driving is much better in the winter because the pot holes are filled with snow...

OUR MONTANA FLY FISHING SEASONS

When should I come? Have a look at our season recap and it may help you decide. A brief synopsis of our seasons and hatches compiled by Rooster and his staff of Montana Fly Fishing Guides.....

Emily and Tyler Cote sent us this thank you....

"We just want to say thanks for the incredible week we spent with you guys in Twin. Everything about the experience exceeded our expectations. Your guides, staff, food, accommodations, location and of course the fishing were all just incredible. Like I told Emily that day we were out on the spring creek, you guys gave us the chance to catch (and blow!) more big trout in one day than I have in all of my combined experiences as an angler. We were little nervous when we flew into Bozeman and saw high water everywhere, but you guys consistently put us on to fish and had a plan to work around what mother nature was dealing out after weeks of epic rain. As this was our first real destination fishing trip, we don't have a lot of experience to measure against - but I've got to say the bar has been set pretty high.  

We already miss Montana and the crew at the Stonefly Inn and can't wait to get back. Next time we will try to recruit some friends to go along and we will absolutely spread the good word on our end. I learned a lot of really cool stuff and I count the whole thing as being right up there with one of the best experiences of my life. Thanks Rooster! " --Emily and Tyler Cote, Monmouth, Maine.
