Chris Fleck and his group of guides out of Stillwater Anglers could not have been better. Thoroughly knowledgeable, professional, hardworking fellows all of them.
Enjoyed my float this summer and the great reception you gave me as a walk in customer. I plan on being in the area this next summer and will schedule a float with you. I enjoy your newsletters very much. holiday greetings from the Texas hill country. See ya!
My girlfriend from California and I had dreamed of one day fly fishing together in Montana and Stillwater Anglers and our guide Luke surpassed our expectations. With temps reaching 100 degrees the fish weren't hungry but Luke was determined to help us get them to bite and we all landed beautiful 15+ inch rainbows. What a blast. We are looking forward to making an annual excursion
Chris was a great guide for me! I didn't know how to fish with streamers. Chris gave me a great lesson & I caught my 1st fish on a streamer! He was ready for everything & just changed up rods to match the changing conditions on the Yellowstone. Looking forward to fishing with Stillwater Anglers again!
