“I have had the pleasure of fishing with Ryan on three different occasions over the last 8 years. Each trip has been better then the last. Ryan is always able to find the fish and figure out what they want to eat. He truly knows Montana's rivers and can turn a tough day around quickly. He is very personable and makes the time on the water fun and enjoyable. I tell anyone I talk with that wants to fish MT to contact MTC, they get it done! ”

"Ryan will plan a float to achieve YOUR goal, whether you want to fish hard and boat a lot of fish, or take an easy bluebird day to show visitors the splendor of Montana and introduce them to the sport. He can provide clear, effective instruction to first-timers or seasoned anglers. Ryan’s demeanor on the water combines a natural cheerfulness with a tenacious determination to help you achieve success. And most importantly, he ties good knots! ”

Typically, I’m extremely nervous around guides. From my experiences they tend to focus more on my husband when we fish together. Ryan however, makes me feel at home when we are on the water and he’s just as helpful with me as he is with my husband. If you are looking for something new I would highly recommend booking a carp trip with Ryan. These trips have become my favorite and are a unique way to experience MT for an experienced angler. Overall, Ryan works hard, keeps the laughter flowing and is a blast to fish with.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our first ever fly fishing trip with Montana Trout Company. Our guide Ryan was very patient as we were both first time anglers. He did an excellent job of giving us instructions and guidance throughout the float. The scenery and the entire experience was amazing! ”

“My wife Joanie and I fished the Upper Madison with Ryan in August and had a great time! We both learned a lot from him and my wife landed her biggest rainbow to date and I caught my first ever brown trout. We have only done this a few times and Ryan was super helpful and very professional .”

"I’ve fished with Ryan many times and have always caught a lot of fish. Even the time he had to row into a cold headwind after a spring squall on the Madison that pushed us back upstream faster than the current was moving us downstream. He’s a very fishy guy and a superb boat handler. He doesn’t tell you to cast your flies six feet further, instead he moves the boat so your best cast is the right cast. He knows whether it is a good thing or a bad when the Yellowstone flow rate changes 300 CFS ."

“The owner Ryan was my guide for the 3 days I booked. He was a fantastic guide and made everything very easy for me. He taught me how to read the water and helped me sharpen up my casting skills …. Ryan was a wealth of knowledge on the landscape and waterways of Montana. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for an exciting and safe day on the water .”

“Ryan is single-handedly responsible for the fishy anglers that we have become today. A few years ago my husband and I went on our first guide trip with Ryan on the Yellowstone River. After a great day on the water and a beautiful trophy brown trout within sight of the takeout, I knew we would be back for more. This season we are booked to fish with Ryan again for our fourth time and we can’t wait!"
