Rick Knight
Helena, MT
The only way to describe the intensity and excitement exhibited by Rick for fishing, is to compare it to Christmas. Picture a child covering their head at night to make sure Santa doesn’t see that they are not sleeping, to waking up at 4am wondering why the grownups aren’t up yet, the anticipation is palpable. Rick began fly fishing when he was 9, begging his grandfather, Gumpy, to take him to his favorite fishing hole. His dad added fuel to the fire when he bought him his first Winston rod and Hardy reel. 40 plus years later Rick still can’t wait to get out on the water and fish. Rick has been infusing this same enthusiasm for fly fishing into guiding for the past 11 seasons on Southwestern Montana rivers. In the winter, he spends his time tying flies, teaching classes locally, and preparing for the season ahead. Rick has been married for 30 years, has 5 kids, one daughter-in-law, and a grandson. This is Rick’s dream job, passing on his knowledge and enthusiasm for fly fishing to others.

River Knight OutfittersBlackfoot River Fly Fishing
If you love to fly fish, you owe it to yourself to float this river – made famous by the novel, The River Runs Through It. The Blackfoot starts along the continental divide near Lincoln and drops in elevation over 3,000 feet. This is a classic, freestone stream with numerous rifles, runs, and pools throughout your float. The river runs through amazing canyons, heavy timber, and open valleys surrounded by beautiful peaks and loaded with a variety of hungry trout that love to take a dry fly! The Blackfoot is typically a little colder than other surrounding freestones and can be a great place to throw a hopper in the summer heat. There is nothing like watching a slow, subtle take of a beautiful cutthroat eating your fly!

Madison River Fly Fishing
The Madison River is a gem of Southwestern Montana, a fishing treasure worth exploring! With the Sphynx Mountain keeping watch, its continual riffles slice through the Madison, Gravely, and Tobacco Root Mountain Ranges ending its journey in the Missouri River. Being a tailwater, the Madison River fishes consistently year-round producing a plethora of bugs for the trout to feed on. Taking a trip during the legendary salmon fly hatch will leave more than a large rainbow hooked by the end of the day. Casting your line over these beautiful wild browns, rainbows, and cutthroats is a treat you don’t want to miss out on!

Missouri River Fly Fishing
As you drive along Route 15 North of Helena, Mt you pass a sign that says, Gates of the Mountains. This is when you know you are getting close to the famous tailwater section of the Missouri River, from Holter Dam to Cascade, 40 miles of trout heaven. At certain times of the year, it feels like you are floating in an aquarium, watching groups of massive rainbows slice through the water under your drift boat; it’s a sight to behold. The Missouri River offers one of the best opportunities to catch a 20 inch” plus trout on a dry fly anywhere in Montana. This is a dry fly destination you will want to have on your bucket list.
