Montana Fly Fishing Dream Kit
Likes
2I am a Montana Fly Fishing guide and I have guided in three states, and nothing beats the scenery, miles of water and verity. Being a guide, I am very keen on quality gear. I get real picky about build quality and durability. This list is what I deem to be the top notch, no questions, Montana dream kit list.
May contain sponsored links*Rods, Reels & Line
I have been really impressed by Waterworks-Lamson. They have great customer care, flawless machined fly reels, and the fast action rods have proven exceptional. I chose a 5wt for General trout scenarios and a 7wt for streamers/Pike.
Flies & Tackle
Flies
There are a lot of flies to like here, but a person could theoretically get away with just a few.
For pike- In white, red, or black.
Hooks
I tend to gravitate towards local hook maker Firehole Outdoors.
Bags, Boxes, Storage & Organization
Boat Bags & Dry Bags
Tackle Boxes & Fly Boxes
This box is for pike.
This fly box is for nymphs.
Clothing
These are simply what I like to wear- it's a style choice, except the glasses, they are part of my body year-round.
Hats/ Sunglasses
I am gravitating away from poly lenses to glass lenses
