Fly FisHer Adventures operates under Iron Fly Outfitting 23084. We will explore & fly fish a local stream within a 30 minute drive of Helena depending on water flows. I can provide fly fishing gear as needed, including fly rods, reels, leader, tippet and flies (waders and wading boots can be rented for an additional fee). There is a maximum number of 2 guests per outing. The outing will be geared towards instruction or a new fishing experience dependent upon your experience level. If the timeframe of the available booking does not meet your interest, please reach out to determine if a different time is possible. The experience is a 4 hour outing. Outings will only be cancelled if it’s deemed too dangerous to be out on the water such as a lightning storm or extreme winds. An interview will be done to determine your area of interest in learning fly fishing. This can include entomology and how to select the right fly, how to safely wade, how to read water, how to approach a stream or water for fishing, how to rig up a fly rod and learn the knots needed for successfully landing a fish, basic casting, etc. Other things to note Fly FisHer Adventures will tailor your fly fishing excursion and education by doing a thorough interview once the outing is booked.

We will meet you at the boat dock with our kayaks and help you launch onto the kayak. Then we will float down the river enjoying the beautiful views. We will give you your own space ahead of us but close enough if you need assistance. At the end we will pick you up and take you back to the boat launch area to pick up your car(s). Other things to note The river is very shallow through most of the float. The river ranges in depths of zero to eight feet deep. You may have to pull your boat for a second if you hit a high spot.

Spend an hour in our rustic barn with a guide and one of our beautiful horses in what can best be described as an equine spa day. You will get to groom and pet the horses—then tack one up (place saddles, stirrups, bridles, halters, reins, bits, and harnesses), for a ride in our indoor arena. You can bask in the serene energy of these gentle giants, and in turn they will benefit from kind touch and some extra TLC. Horses are known to mirror their rider’s emotions, which means they can easily establish connection with humans. This hands-on experience is designed to be an hour of immersive collaboration between man and beast. Other things to note: Please note this tour is designed for up to 4 participants, so come alone or bring a friend. When registering please provide rider’s heights and weights, as our horses can hold various sizes. Too tall or heavy? No worries, you can still participate!
