Bitterroot Fly Company, Outfitter / Vliegvisspeciaalzaak

We drove through Hamilton just for this and honestly, the staff knew every hatch on the river and set me up with the exact flies I needed. The Orvis endorsement is one thing, but their advice was what made the trip worth it.

The shop's Orvis endorsement shows in how carefully the gear is stocked and how willing the staff were to talk through fly patterns for the local rivers. I left with exactly what I needed and a handful of better spot ideas for the Bitterroot.

Walked in not expecting much, but the Orvis-endorsed setup means the gear selection is legit and the staff actually listens to what you're fishing for. Left with exactly the right flies for the Bitterroot and a knot I'd never have figured out on my own. Worth the drive to Hamilton.
