Whether you're a first-time fly fisher or an experienced angler looking to improve your success, our professional guides know where the trout are feeding, what flies are producing, and how to make every day on the river both productive and enjoyable.
Meet your guide at the O'Dell Creek Fly Shop inside Rainbow Valley Lodge, then head to the river for an unforgettable Montana fly fishing adventure.
Why Hire a Madison River Guide?
The Madison River offers nearly endless opportunities, but understanding changing water conditions, seasonal hatches, and productive holding water can take years to learn.
A guided trip allows you to spend more time fishing and less time figuring things out.
Your guide will help you:
• Improve your casting and presentation
• Choose the right flies throughout the day
• Read the river more effectively
• Learn local techniques and strategies
• Fish productive water safely and efficiently
Whether your goal is landing your first wild rainbow trout or chasing the brown trout of a lifetime, a professional guide dramatically shortens the learning curve.
Your Guided Fishing Experience
Your day begins at Rainbow Valley Lodge before heading to the river with your guide from River Borne Outfitters.
You'll fish from a comfortable drift boat while your guide rows, positions the boat, changes flies as conditions evolve, and shares decades of local knowledge. Shore lunch is included on full-day trips, allowing you to relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Madison Valley before returning to another afternoon of world-class trout fishing.
Every trip is customized to match your experience level, fishing goals, and current river conditions.
Stay Where Your Fishing Day Begins
One of the advantages of staying at Rainbow Valley Lodge is the convenience of having your lodging, fly shop, guide service, and local fishing knowledge all in one place.
Enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast, meet your guide just steps from your room, and spend the day fishing one of America's premier blue-ribbon trout streams. After a memorable day on the water, return to comfortable accommodations, swap stories with fellow anglers, and prepare for another day on the Madison River.
