We consider ourselves Montana’s Most Unique Guide Service because we offer top-notch angling adventures with our team of professional fly fishing guides throughout Montana. From our home water, the trout-filled Missouri River in central Montana, to the fabled Bighorn River in eastern Montana to the picturesque Yellowstone River in Paradise Valley, we get around. MFO takes pride in putting together your dream Montana fly fishing trip, whether it is float fishing one of our many famous blue-ribbon rivers or wade fishing a secret stream you’ve never heard of before. We also love to have fun out on the water with our anglers – we think fly fishing is about spending quality time in beautiful places with good people. We love what we do, and we want to share it with you. « less

This was my first time fishing on the Missouri River and I can't say enough good things about it. Not only was Garrett Munson a great guide but he introduced me to techniques that I had never learned in my 15 years of fly fishing. The "Reach Cast" was something I had never heard of but Garrett was an excellent... More

To say that MFO's Garrett and Mitch are "Fishy" (in angler's terms) is an understatement. Their knowledge of the river, demeanor, professionalism and just plain being good guys will bring me back to the Mo again for sure. It was my first trip to the Mo, and these guys break a 100 yard river down better than I've seen other... More

So little time and so many rivers...but none like the Missouri and not a guide service like Montana Fishing Outfitters run by the indomitable Garrett Munson. Every detail of the four day trip for 6 of us; the lodging (house on the water), personal chef (Sandy), two other guides (Curt and "Cuda"), was considered and delivered 1st class. Oh, and... More

After 20 years, two best friends from high school reunited with our families and fished the Yellowstone with Pat and it was truly an experience of a lifetime! Pat, and his entire crew, couldn't have been more hospitable. Their experience on the water is unparalleled. Pat's patience and ability to work effectively with a group ranging in age from 11...

I fished the Missouri with my long-time friend and fly-fishing guide Garrett Munson. We ended up having the perfect day on the water, simply put. It would be really tough to ask for anything more than what he delivered. Great company, lots of nice trout, perfect weather, lots of patience, and some good laughs. Garrett put me on fish after...

This is my third time fishing on the Missouri River with Montana Fishing Outfitters. Every experience has been fantastic! Garrett worked hard to find us fish and made sure we loved our day on the river. I can't recommend MFO enough. Whether you are a serious fisherman or a novice, you can't go wrong. More

I was in charge of planning a weekend in Missoula for a trip w/ a college buddy of mine in Missoula. Of course, I waited until the last minute (not recommended) and reached out to Pat for a lifeline. He found the best guide I've had the pleasure of fishing with--patient, overall great guy, and a true pro (we've got... More

My wife and I live in California. We vacation in Montana each year so we can visit her family. About 10 years ago we decided to start fishing with a guide service, and through internet searching we learned about Pat Straub and his company MFO. We have fished every year with Pat, Garret or one of their other guides, and... More

We moved to Montana on Sunday and my wife and I went out fishing with Garrett on Wednesday to de-stress from the move and start getting to know our new home a little better. We did some wade fishing to squeeze in as much fishing as we could in the few hours we could spare and it was perfect. I... More

This was the first time my wife had been fly fishing. She brought a book, not expecting to enjoy the experience. She never put her pole down (expect to untangle a couple snags)! We both really enjoyed the expereince and plan to return. . Pat and Garrett were both a delight to work with. Responsive, personable, professional. Gary, our guide,... More
