A Montana Hidden Gem: the Stillwater River with Chris Fleck

Our destination is the beautiful Stillwater River with expert guide and outfitter, Chris Fleck, Stillwater Anglers, Nye Montana.  Often overlooked, the Stillwater is one of Montana's best kept secrets and is anything but still.   Here anglers will find challenging whitewater, boulder fields, prolific hatches, and some of the most spectacular scenery in all of Montana.  Best of all, the Stillwater is a haven for anglers looking for solitude. Chris caught the fly fishing bug early as a kid in Wyoming.  He traveled the world serving 23 years in the Marine corp and now makes his living on the waters around Nye.  Today Chris shares his secrets of the Stillwater along with the nearby Boulder River, Rosebud, Rock Creek, even Patagonia along with top hatches and fly patterns, high water techniques, and how to fish the elusive nocturnal stonefly.    Stick around to the end for a great story of a giant brown trout, plus local hotspots.  Listen in and beat the crowds with Chris on the Stillwater!   With host, Steve Haigh Be the first to know about new episodes.  Become a subscriber Destination Angler on YouTube Pictures from the Flathead @DestinationAnglerPodcast on Facebook and Instagram Contact Chris: [email protected] Facebook and Instagram:  @stillwateranglers Please check out our Sponsors: TroutRoutes The number one fishing app, helping trout anglers avoid the crowds and explore new public water.
