Can't say enough about this shop and its Staff. I have never felt so welcome in a fly shop as an out of towner. Willing to help in anyway or just chat about your day or old fishing stories! Thanks for all your help. Best shop in the Flathead Valley!
Stopped in for some local advice and a few flies for some fishing while camping with my daughter. Cute little shop with locals hanging out telling fish stories. Guide Will threw a few of his favorite flies in a box for me and I caught my biggest Montana cutthroat in the first 10 minutes of fishing later that day!!
Awesome shop! Sammy gave me some really good advice on where to go on the flathead and her fly suggestions were spot on! Caught tons of cutthroat on a river completely new to me.
Lary's fly shop was outstanding. Greeted by two friendly dogs, the shop was well organized and stocked well for the local fishing. Chatted about fly fishing for near 2 hours and was very well informed on the tactics, flies, and locations to fish. Will definitely return and highly recommend this cozy fly shop.
Friendly owner who clearly has a love for the sport, what she does, and helping folks have a super fly time. Best experience and worth the drive from Polebridge.
Hilary is about as fun to be with on the water as it gets and Ebon has a soul you won't find in most working the register and all the behind the scenes stuff in a fly shop. Love these peeps!
