A Classic Journey Outfitters

Sent my 70 y/o mother and father-in-law to MT as a gift; purchased a 1/2 day float tour with Aaron (also from Michigan) and it made their trip. They raved about Aaron and their entire fly fishing experience. It was totally accessible for older adults and Aaron was incredibly patient and good natured as he offered pointers to a newbie. Would purchase again and again and HIGHLY RECOMMEND AARON!!! Entire experience, from original inquiry which was responded to by owner on a holiday (new year's) (!), setting up details and getting the gift certificate just right with Sheree, to the actual float tour, were all excellent.

Our itinerary was exactly as advertised, the perfect cross between firm and relaxed daily schedules. Which is quite a feat considering the amount of ever-changing variables involved in choosing from 400 river miles to fish on a daily basis. We had 3 different guides, and they each had their own styles, yet were remarkably similar in their attention to the client, constant helpful communication, river knowledge, safety, and everything else required to give their clients a great day on the water. Book your trip with A Classic Journey. Unless you hate fly fishing, meeting new people, the Big Sky outdoors, and exquisite culinary experiences.

My time is precious when I'm on a Montana fly fishing trip. That's why from my experience, the Missoula River Lodge and Classic Journey Outfitters is without a doubt the premier guide company in Missoula. Joes team takes all the headache and hassle out of planning and execution of your trip. I get to spend my time on the water fishing, not dealing with nagging logistics. Joes team are consummate professionals. From the planning staff to the river guides, you wont find a better, more experience group in the fishing business.

A class act operation. Excellent guides, awesome food. Expect to be pampered. Have been 3 times and am never disappointed. A variety of rivers to fish also is a bonus. I highly recommend this location.
