What's not included . . . and why
- Montana Fishing License: must have to fish in Montana. Two-day (there is no one-day) is $22; 10-day is $52.
- Flies: we provide you with wholesale prices of specially-designed selections base on the rivers you will be fishing. You will pay for the selection(s) when your trip is completed. This saves you money and gets the best flies in front of the fish. Upon booking, you will be given specific instructions to take advantage of this special offer.
- Alcoholic beverages
- Guide gratuities: all of our guides will work very hard for you. Tips are never expected, but always appreciated. Only give what you feel is appropriate, but a good range is $30 to $80 per person per day based on your own personal feelings.
- Private water/private ranch access fees: in a few cases, we will fish water that has limited access. You will be given plenty of advance notice and we will discuss the fee before venturing out. Fees range from $50 to $150 per person per day.
We also have lodging destinations on the Missouri, Madison, Yellowstone, Blackfoot rivers. Please ask for more details.
Making a Reservation
Advanced reservations are strongly suggested, as our core group of guides is booked well in advance. The sooner you know your dates, we encourage you to make a reservation so you can have first choice of dates and locations. At the time of your reservation please let Montana Fishing Outfitters know of any heath concerns or dietary restrictions.
Deposit and Final Payment
A deposit of $100.00/per day/per guide booked must be received no later than 10 days from the time of reserving your date(s). Final payment is due no later than the final day of the trip. We accept cash, checks, and credit cards. Credit card payments are safe and secure via our own account with PayPal. Receipt of a deposit constitutes your agreement to our deposit and payment terms.
Refund and Cancellation Policy
Your deposit will be refunded in whole if you give Straub's Montana Fishing Outfitters 30 days or more notice of intent to cancel. If the guide cannot be re-booked for the day of cancellation, your $100.00/day/guide deposit will be forwarded to the guide in lieu of that lost revenue.
Weather cancellations can occur due to sudden weather changes. A rainy or snowy day may not be the weather you had hoped for. Remember, however, that some of our best days of fishing may occur on days that are overcast and raining or snowing. On days like this, it is entirely up to you and your guide whether or not to fish. In most instances, the weather changes or the fishing is still good, so discretion is important. We will gladly reschedule you during your stay, if possible, or completely refund your deposit.
