Fly Fishing Paradise

The Western Montana watershed encompasses the mountainous western side of the state, stretching from the Canadian border to south of Helena.  

The Western Montana watershed features some of the most stunning landscapes that Montana has to offer. From picturesque river valleys to soaring mountain peaks, this watershed area is an unforgettable experience.  Whether you’re an experienced angler or just getting started, there is a perfect fly fishing adventure in the Western Montana watershed.

The biggest draw for the Western Montana Watershed is Flathead Lake with its many tributaries and surrounding rivers and streams. Anglers who fish Western Montana can expect to hook any kind of trout and bass that they could want during their fly fishing adventures. 

So, if you're looking for a guided trout fishing trip, this diverse watershed will never disappoint. Your line will never tire of casting—day after day, year after year. 
Our fly fishing group has used Chad Olsen and GYFO for the past ten years and have never been disappointed. He instructs without being overbearing, knows the rivers of Montana and Wyoming well, and consistently puts our group on fish. His knowledge of each river is extensive and often finds fish when other nearby outfitters are watching in awe. His ability to teach fly fishing techniques and fundamentals during the fishing day has made us all better fishermen. His sense of humor and his gentle reminders to "center up" on the boat and to "set the hook" (!!) make for a fun day on the water. He's by far the best guide/outfitter I've used in over 30 years of fly fishing. Our group of 6-10 fly fishermen have used him exclusively for the last ten years when we venture out of Colorado! Any day on the river is good -- but a day with Chad makes it exceptional!! He's more than a fishing guide to us -- he's become a good friend as well!
