Montana is known worldwide for its abundant and bountiful wild trout fishing and the Missouri River is one of the true gems of western dry fly fishing. This fabulous river is out my back door and I'm truly blessed to be able to call the Missouri my "home water" and fish here as often as I do.

I'm a professional guide by trade, but first and foremost I'm an avid fly fisher like you. 2009 will mark my 26th year of fly fishing the Missouri and it would be a pleasure to share past experiences with you as well as enjoy the new ones.

I offer professional guide services for float and wade fly fishing on the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers as well as patient, practical casting and fly fishing instruction. I'm commited to providing a safe, quality fly fishing experience to anglers of all ages and experience levels, that is fun, personalized, humorous, relaxed and low-key.

Thanks again for your visit. Please take a moment to browse my site and see what I have to offer. For questions, booking information, trip planning and lodging assistance, or just to talk fly fishing, feel free to call me at (406)431-1378 or email dpo@mt.net.

All trips are booked under David Payne Outdoors,LLC, Montana Board of Outfitter's licence number 6332.
