Guided Flyfishing & Adventures

Guided Fly Fishing on the Madison River and other Trophy Rivers of Montana

Dan Delekta is one of the most experienced outfitters and guides in the area. He has guided on the Madison River and other Montana trophy rivers for over 40 years. His experience and his special Delektable ™ fly patterns help clients catch fish under all conditions.

Beartooth Flyfishing has a great group of experienced guides. These guides have worked with Dan for many years, and everyone works together to provide the best fly fishing experience.

All guides are subject to availability. Full Day Guide trips include lunches. Please let us know if you have any special food requirements or allergies when we request your lunch orders for the trip. Gear and equipment is included with your float. If not taking a float, rental gear and equipment are available at a charge. Fishing licenses, Flies (You are only charged for the flies you use at a discounted rate), and guide gratuities are not included. Fishing licenses are available online Montana Fishing Licenses Online or can be purchased in the Beartooth Flyfishing Fly shop which has a vast array of flies, fishing gear, and other products. When buying your fishing license online, it is easier if you know your date of birth with your ALS#. Call us if you need help with that process.
