It’s probably a question I’ve gotten more than any other over the last 20 years. While there are many answers, I think the number one reason is that we care. We love to share what we have in Montana. Regardless of your skill level you’re going to receive the same attitude from your guide. Every guide here is equally enthusiastic about teaching as they are about guiding the seasoned Angler.
Here in Missoula, Montana we are fortunate to fly fish on some of the most legendary streams of the world. I can guarantee that you’ve heard of at least one of our streams, if not all of them. The Bitterroot River, the Blackfoot River, the Clark Fork River, the Missouri River, and Rock Creek. Any one of them is reason alone to visit. With exclusive permits on certain stretches, Clear Creek Outfitters is able to get you on water that very few other companies can. I often tell people you can come out for a month and not fish the same stretch of water.
We also specialize in helping our clients (friends) find dream homes out there. Montana River And Ranch Homes are also part of our mission. That mission is to help you find that second vacation home, or a rental, or a place to retire in the heart of paradise. If you’re going to come out and fall in love with Montana, why not stay? I can promise we’ll find you that perfect place.
Call us today and get that fly fishing trip booked, or let us start finding you that perfect place on the river, or in the mountains.
Clear Creek Outfitters Montana
Every trip we do deserves patience, hard work, and understanding of the client’s needs; anywhere from a complete beginner, to a seasoned expert.
Certain times of the year and certain clients require different schedules. For instance the hottest part of the year we may need an earlier start to have the best fishing possible. Or a client may have a desire to fish a certain river at a certain time so flexibility is the key.
While catching fish is very important so is enjoying the day. Other outfitters preach racing down the river to make sure they’re first. We’re not on a set time schedule and our guides are completely competent to be able to catch fish in any condition. In the hottest part of the year, we may need an earlier start to have the best fishing possible. Or a client may have a desire to fish a certain river at a certain time so flexibility is the key.
Brian Gast2024-04-11I have been fishing with Doug at Clear Creek Outfitters for about 15 years now and I would never go anywhere else. Doug’s knowledge of the rivers and where the fish are is second to none. He always finds a way to put you onto some nice fish! In addition to some great fishing you will always have a great time with Doug, and the lunches👍. So if you are looking for a great day on the river and want to catch some fish this is the only place to go!Gavin Holles2024-04-07Doug was instrumental in delivering a truly epic trip down both the Blackfoot and Bitterroot rivers. These are remarkable landscapes on their own - made even better by his ability to put you on fish and help even a novice fly fisherman find success! He delivers the whole experience for his clients which makes for a great day on the river. Highly Recommend.railroader232024-03-21Highly recommend Clear Creek Outfitters for drifting the rivers in the Missoula area! Doug Jones is an awesome guide and knows all the sweet spots on the rivers. He's very patient especially if you are a beginner fly fisherman like me lol. Doug showed me new techniques to hone my skills and what I need to look for as a beginning fly fisherman. Hooked up on some big fish but being a beginner it was rod handler error on getting them in the boat. I will definitely be choosing Clear Creek Outfitters again for my next fishing trip down the Bitterroot, Clark Fork, Blackfoot or Missouri River and this time I'll be ready to land that personal best with Doug!!!Joe Reidy2023-07-08I've fished quite a bit and I can say that this was one of my favorite days on the water. Doug got me on the trout within the first two casts. Throughout the day we told fishing stories and got along like old friends fishing. At certain points he'd give me tips on improving my cast, where to drop the fly, alter presentation, or when to set. Other times, he'd let me fish with no critique. He hit the perfect balance. I can't recommend Doug highly enough, 5 stars doesn't do him justice.Ashley May2022-10-18Whether you’re a seasoned fly junkie or a total newbie Doug will go out of his way to accommodate you and adapt to your needs. He has more experience than a lot of the guides I looked into and it really came through. Local info and stories were a nice bonus to a day spent on the Blackfoot as well as a tasty lunch. Don’t look any further if you’ve found Clear Creek!ashreading2022-07-25My Dad and I went out with Doug when waters were high and fishing was tough. Doug got us on fish and gave us a great day. Will definitely recommend to anyone I know looking for a guide in the future.Debra Raines2022-07-24Fantastic time fly fishing. This was my first time fishing. Our guide, Doug, was an excellent instructor and made our trip so much fun.. I actually caught a sizable fish..I can’t wait for our next trip ..Duane Cook2022-07-08What a great way to learn fly fishing! Doug was tremendous. About 6 hours of rapid fire instruction and encouragement. It was so fun! I think I had 9 strikes (my wife about the same) and I even pulling in my dinner: literally. I learned SO MUCH! Doug has a infectious love of fly fishing. We have been out twice since our float down the Bitterroot! Everything we needed to know to get started…casting, mending, watching, how to react when they hit! Doug knows all the great spots and exactly where to put the fly! If you want to learn from a true professional, he is you guy!Jeff Somrock2022-07-08Doug is a true professional. Having never been fly fishing before he taught us to cast and had us pulling fish into the raft almost immediately. Sorry for all the flies we left in the trees we promise to lose less next year!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 20 reviews
