At Blackfoot River Outfitters, we don’t hire guides based simply by their Montana fishing experience - but rather their life experience. Your time on the water is valuable. Too valuable to waste on a guide who thinks your trip is about them instead of you. Our guides will put you on fish, improve your angling skills and increase your fly fishing knowledge. Just as importantly, they enjoy sharing a good story, lay out an exceptional lunch spread and generally make fine company. Some of our guides have fished the world over, others grew up in Montana and find it hard to fish elsewhere. We have guides in their 50’s and others in their 20’s. They are students and parents, Easterners and Westerners, musicians and mechanics. All are special and go about the art of guiding in different ways – and all are hired to make the most of your time on the water. |

Jason Coates Jason grew up in a small town in south east Alabama. He began his fishing career casting to largemouth bass, bream, catfish or anything else that was catchable. After moving to Montana in 2001 Jason started fly fishing while working in Glacier National Park. Once he landed his first trout on the fly, on Mitten Lake, it was over! Ever since that first trout, he has been chasing and guiding folks to them with reckless abandon. Between hatches, Jason attended the University of Montana and received a degree in Ecology and Botany. Jason has grown into an incredible fisherman over the past few years, and he loves sharing his knowledge and techniques with our clients. While teaching you about fly fishing he will also reveal the flora and fauna that surrounds our beautiful local rivers. After time spent on our waters with Jason, your appreciation for Montana and its resources are brought out to their fullest. |
