Smith River Flyfishing

Montana Flyfishing Connection, LLC is a professional Montana guide service built around the relationship between anglers and guides. Led by owner Joe Sowerby, its close-knit team offers guided fly-fishing trips for anglers of different experience levels, with a specialty in the legendary Smith River. The signature trip is a five-day, 60-mile float through remote wilderness, combining trout fishing, canyon scenery and wildlife with comfortable accommodations, meals and expert guiding.

The company also organizes day trips and custom outings on Western Montana rivers, including the Blackfoot, Bitterroot, Clark Fork and Missouri. Options range from single-day floats to multi-day camping trips and riverside lodge or cabin experiences. With more than 400 miles of floatable trout habitat available across the region, guides help guests choose trips suited to their interests and experience. Anglers can pursue wild brown, rainbow and cutthroat trout, with instruction and top-quality gear included on the Smith River experience. Montana Flyfishing Connection presents its trips as welcoming, well-supported ways to enjoy the fishing, landscapes and hospitality of Montana.
