The best place to buy flies that are catching fish
If you’re planning to do a little fly fishing on the Bitterroot River, you’ll probably want to visit a fly shop.
Fly shops are the best resource for current fishing information and for buying flies that are catching fish.
They’re also experts on river conditions, and they like to help people learn the sport.
We love the atmosphere of a fly shop, and we always learn from the people who hang around them.
Here’s a list of the fly shops in the Bitterroot Valley.
