Clothing: The rule in Montana is if you dont like the weather just wait ten minutes. This can be true any time of year so make sure you pack a rain jacket and warm clothing. Bozeman, Montana is famous for its beautiful seasons, but the weather can change quickly. In the colder months we strongly recommend over packing your clothing. There is plenty of room in the boat for you to store extra warm clothing, and its always better to have to shed a layer then to be without one. Even in the middle of winter, fishing in this state is very enjoyable if you are able to layer up.
Waders and Boots: Most times of year waders are paramount. A good pair of boots is also important, your boots should have some type of sole that can grip the slippery surfaces of our rivers and creeks. Waders and Boots are not always needed in the summer months, and wet wading can be the most enjoyable and relaxing way to fish. We can accommodate you with waders and boots if you do not have any.
Fly Rods and Reels: Bring any weight of rod and reel you wish to. There can always be a purpose for a lighter or heavier rod and reel. We can supply all rods and reels if you dont own any or choose not to bring your own.
Flies: Fly Cast Angler will supply all of the flies needed for your trip, but if you have some special home brews you have tied up then bring them along.
