Montana Winter Fly Fishing - Big Sky Anglers






Looking for a break from skiing or snowmobiling? Most folks don’t think about fishing and Montana in the winter, but we do have access to a few rivers that stay clear of ice and, if the weather’s right, you can have a great afternoon of fishing. Don’t forget your hand warmers, the extra layer and maybe a thermos of hot tea. Winter tactics vary from slow-stripping streamers in deep pools or dead-drifting small nymphs through deep pocket water to the winter angler's best friend, the Midge hatch. December through March offers a unique time on Montana's rivers. The world seems quieter under snow and you're the only angler within miles. Winter trips are half-day excursions in order to take advantage of the warmer afternoons and are subject to weather conditions. Winter Rates: 1 or 2 anglers - $300.
