Agee Outfitting

A pretty good Montana workday.

Drove to Townsend to look at some real estate, then stopped at the Broadwater range to stretch the rifle out in some serious wind. Finished up by sending a few arrows downrange and, thankfully, they were on target. Archery season is almost here.

Real estate. Rifles. Bows. Big country.

This is home. This is my life.

A month since my last guide day, and this was a good one to come back to.

Fishing has been tough lately, but today thoroughly exceeded expectations. Hoppers were the ticket, and we took advantage of the trout that were willing to look up.

Finished the day fishing down a side channel with bighorn sheep above us and the camera rolling.

Catching trout on hoppers while watching bighorns on the Missouri River. That’s a pretty special day in Montana.

Thanks to Headhunters Fly Shop for connecting me with a great group from Minnesota.

Earlier this summer. Cold water, rising brown trout, and the kind of days you wish you could bottle up.

Now it's pushing 95°, and August is here. The season's best is behind us until cooler weather returns this fall. In the meantime, my focus shifts to helping clients buy and sell some of the very places that make this Montana lifestyle possible.

I'll be back on the water soon enough. Until then, there are clients to serve.

The best days on the Missouri River aren't always the sunniest.

A little June rain was all it took to get the trout looking up. Dry flies, steady action, and another reminder of why this river is one of the finest trout fisheries anywhere. Days like these never get old.

Zen.

Some of my earliest memories in fly fishing were on the spring creeks around Livingston with my dad, Michael B. Agee.

About 40 years ago, he taught me that a natural drift wasn't luck. It was earned. There were broken tippets, wind knots, flies in the bushes, missed fish, and plenty of frustration. But he stayed patient, and little by little I learned.

Today, it came full circle.

Instead of him untangling my messes, I was changing tippets as fine as human hair, picking flies out of the grass, helping him across a tricky creek crossing, and tying on a fly that finally fooled a rising trout.

It reminded me that some of life's greatest gifts aren't fish. They're the people who take the time to teach us, encourage us, and eventually allow us to return the favor.

My dad was fishing these legendary spring creeks back when a knock on a rancher's door, a handshake, and a respectful conversation were enough to earn permission to fish. Those lessons about respect, humility, and treating both people and the land the right way have stayed with me far longer than any trout ever could.

Thanks, Dad, for showing me the way. Being able to help you today meant more than you'll ever know. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Some days on the Missouri River are about the fish. Others are about the memories.

This one was both.

A family of five, three boys eager to learn, and a river that delivered in every way. Brown trout, Rainbow trout, and even the often overlooked Rocky Mountain whitefish reminded us that every species has a story to tell.

Watching parents share this experience with their kids is one of my favorite parts of what I do. Years from now, the details of each fish may fade, but these moments together on the water won't.

The Missouri River keeps producing more than trout. It creates memories that last a lifetime.

What's your favorite memory from time spent outdoors with family?

Two weeks of chasing fish in the Bahamas and South Florida reminded me of something important. Catching another Permit was a highlight, but the best part was time spent with old friends, new friends, and making memories along the way. After getting home and rolling into Memorial Day weekend in Montana, it was a good reminder that the places we love are really about the experiences and people that come with them. Montana still feels pretty hard to beat.🐟🏠For the full blog post, check the link in my bio.
