We had an amazing week with Wet Net Outfitters! We fished 2 sections of the Yellowstone, private water, the Upper Madison, and the Stillwater river. Each river was unique and special. Pierce did an amazing job curating a fly fishing trip that exactly met our desires. We fished with Pierce and one of his guides Doug McKnight (well known for designing the “Home Invador” streamer). Both guides were amazing and it was like having 5 days of private fly fishing instruction. Our skills were dramatically better by the end of the trip. I had four huge fish in one hour that were some of the most memorable in my life - all on dries and sight fished with amazing eats! Both guides would get as excited as we did when we landed a special fish. We give Wet Net Outfitters the highest recommendation and will definitely be back soon!!!

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!

Just an amazing three days of fishing with the "juicer". Went to Dubuys spring creek and landed 20-30 with streamers, traditional nymphs and Euro nymphing. Most between 16-20. Then did 2 days of float on the Missouri near Craig. Same story except one day it must have been near 35 trout. Pierce even brought a small heater for when it got cold. Pierce always has the right fly's and he can adapt to any circumstance. He also does everything he can to make the day a blast. In one run my friend and I must have gotten nearly 20 fish. He rowed back up against the current over and over again because the fishing was so good. I do not know many guides who would do that. He also always makes the trip fun and he always gives just the right amount of teaching. He never get frustrated when my friend tangles with me. Never my fault! Pierce is a great individual and by far my #1 choice in guides.

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.
