A Day On The Water

A Day On the River...

We pride ourselves on a tradition of quality and experience. Now in our thirteenth season, we have been providing anglers with some of the finest fly fishing Southwestern Montana has to offer. After a day spent with our guides, you will walk away with an understanding as to why we do what we do and truly love the fisherman's life here in Montana.
Our guide staff is composed of enthusiastic professionals who share the same love of fly fishing as you. CK Outfitters' guides are a well-rounded group of hand picked professionals who are all accomplished fly fishermen, fly tiers, casting instructors and teachers of the sport. If your goal is to cast a longer line or understand our rivers' ecosystems better, we will be happy to share our knowledge.

The day will start at a preferred fly shop in Bozeman, Montana. We utilize several fly shops in the Bozeman area and make them our base the morning of the trip. Such things as flies, terminal tackle, licenses, etc. can be purchased at this time. Details such as time and place to meet will be discussed when you book your trip. Our guides will provide transportation to and from the river as well as a delicious lunch, soft drinks and a memorable day of Montana fly fishing.

We offer two different style of trips - Walk-Wade and Float Trips. Walk-wading a river entails fishing on foot and we will cover some distance. This is a great way to thoroughly cover "fishy" water. When float fishing you will fish from a MacKenzie style drift boat. We generally float river stretches between 6-12 miles in length depending on water conditions. This style of trip is our most popular and people tend to prefer this more relaxed pace. Both styles are fun and can be rewarding. Talk to us about your past experiences and expectations for your upcoming trip and we'll customize a trip that suits your preferences. It has always been our philosophy that guided fly fishing is a partnership. Share with us what you like and dislike, whether it be fishing on foot or from a boat or maybe dry fly fishing versus nymph fishing. The more we know, the harder we will work at exceeding your expectations. Also, talk to us about local lodging and dining options. We have an extensive list of favorite accommodations available to share.
