Pierce did an amazing job teaching my kids how to fly fish (and giving me a few pointers ....). He was very patient, knowledgable and had a great personality. Don't consider anyone else - book Pierce!

Pierce was an excellent teacher and guide. We had a great time on our first fly fishing trip and hands down would go again with him.

Spent 3 days with Pierce…it was fantastic! We fished Duprey Spring Creek and the MIssouri River. Going to Montana was my trip of a lifetime and Piece was the perfect guide and host. Met him at the Atlanta Fly Fishing Show in February 2022 and knew immediately this was a perfect fit for my modest experience. Great teacher, answered many questions I had …and unbelievable experience. We caught many fish and had a great time doing it!

I have been fly-fishing for over 30 years mostly, warm water and saltwater. I currently live in San Antonio, Texas, and usually fly-fish at the coast with a guide for Red Fish. I come out to Montana 2 to 3 times per year. I have been fishing with Pierce for over 10 years. He is my favorite fishing guide! We have fished the Bighorn, Yellowstone, Missouri, DePuy, and a bunch of others. We have floated, waded, camped, hiked; you name it. We have nymphed, fished dry flies, and fished streamers. Pierce always has the perfect set up for his clients: fly rod, fly line, flies, and weight. He even has his own custom strike indicator (the balloon). I have caught both numbers of fish and big fish with Pierce. When he nets a 20+ inch brown trout, I don’t know who is happier me or Pierce. It is a blast! I always wanted to be fisheries biologist. Pierce has a degree in biochemistry and can get downright detailed and technical about trout and their behavior. His knowledge adds a whole level of fun to the fishing experience. I was having a tough time catching fish on the DePuy spring creek. When I finally landed a fish, Pierce gently removed some stomach contents using a suction device. Pierce examined the “bugs” and select a tiny midge pattern. The trout was released unharmed, but maybe a little hungry. I subsequently caught a nice fish on almost every cast. It was awesome. Pierce is lighthearted and we always have a great time. I have recommended my friends to Pierce and they also have had a great time. I can’t wait for my next Montana fishing adventure with Pierce.

When is the best time to fly fish Montana?

It is the all too often asked question, “When is the best time to come fish in Montana?” While the question is valid, its answer really depends on the personal presences of the inquirer.

If you only want to fish foam dry flies, May is not the time to come – try August. Conversely, if you want to experience some of the highest nymph catch rates, August is not the time to come – try May. Every month offers up a unique experience and near peak, if not peak fishing, on an area river.
