MONTANA?

“Many go fishing all their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.”
– H.D. Thoreau

Here’s your chance to experience some of the finest fly fishing in the Lower 48 on two of Montana’s most famous, blue ribbon trout streams. The Madison and Yellowstone rivers are populated by 1200 – 1500 wild trout per mile; ‘Bows, Browns, and ‘Cutts.

“Lou” from the Caddis Shop, is heading up a group of anglers from September 24-27 to Bozeman Montana. We will hook up with our friend Ed Lawrence of Ed Lawrence’s Fishing Outfit. The trip is geared for both the inexperienced and experienced fly anglers who will be in the company of licensed, experienced guides who have been plying these waters for decades.

This four day all inclusive package has been created especially for the Caddis Shop, and will allow us to fully experience Montana fly fishing at its best.

What’s included?
4 Days of guided fly fishing, 5 nights lodging, most meals
It is affordably priced at only $1587* per person.
Why did we choose Ed Lawrence’s fishing outfit?

In one word: competence. He and his guides know the territory.
As Ed says, “We’re not crotchety old-timers, but we’ve been successfully guiding clients for decades, and we’re proud that a high percentage of our clients are returnees.”

HERE ARE THE details: We will have 4 days of guided fishing in drift boats, and will not fish the same place twice. We will stay at The Wyndham Wingate, the finest hotel in Bozeman. Cooked breakfast will be provided at the motel, lunch will be provided on the river, and we will have dinner at our choice of restaurants in the evening.
