Our location in the Yellowstone River Valley allows us to fish a number of large Blue Ribbon trout streams from a drift boat, explore lesser known rivers that require the use of a raft, and access private waters in picturesque settings.

I met Pierce at a flyfishing expo in Massachusetts. When I told him that five friends and I were planning a trip to Montana (grew to a group of eight), he said that a Missouri float would be the way to go. Pierce put together a team of himself and three other guides for three days of fishing. He and the team were outstanding. We did a different part of the river each day. We all caught plenty of fish. Already planning our next trip and will definitely use Wet Net. Great guys and great teachers!

We had two great days fishing with Jay! He is patient, fun and informative! Knew the river and his knowledge resulted in a boat load of fish one day! He took great care of us and I would definitely book with him again! I would highly recommend requesting Jay as your guide!

Pierce and his team did an outstanding job with our group. We had 6 of us and drifted 3 days, we did the Boulder, Stillwater and Madison Rivers and had great success on all three. His group of guides as well as himself are are very knowledgeable and extremely personable. They had some great lunches for us everyday. Top tier fishing equipment, really nice and comfortable boats / rafts- they truly made this a trip of a life time for us. Thanks Pierce, Jay, Will and Doug !

Pierce did an amazing job teaching my kids how to fly fish (and giving me a few pointers ....). He was very patient, knowledgable and had a great personality. Don't consider anyone else - book Pierce!

When is the best time to fly fish Montana?

It is the all too often asked question, “When is the best time to come fish in Montana?” While the question is valid, its answer really depends on the personal presences of the inquirer.

If you only want to fish foam dry flies, May is not the time to come – try August. Conversely, if you want to experience some of the highest nymph catch rates, August is not the time to come – try May. Every month offers up a unique experience and near peak, if not peak fishing, on an area river.
