Wow how time FLIES, when your catching Fish on the FLY

We are almost halfway done with our Montana season already!!! This saddens and excites us here @ AWA. We still have so many trout to bring boat side as we enter the dry fly season on all the rivers. Its almost time for us to dig deep into our creative bag of tricks and provide value added services to our clients. Something most others in the area seem to miss. AWA fishes 17 rivers and then some throughout our season. Call us for details and we will get you hooked up.

So far the biggest fish of the season goes to Paul of Alaska! Each year he brings the good vibes and it pays off with pictures to prove it. Congrats on your 25 ¼” brown my friend. Fish of a lifetime for most, I know we got a bigger one on lock coming next year! Checkout what Paul is up to with his action sports athlete career. Just GOOGLE Paul Thacker Monster Energy! Its a good read, I promise.

As always, thank you to all who have came out this Montana season. AWA looks forward to seeing each and everyone of you again soon in Montana, Louisiana, or Abroad!!! Cheers

APRIL, is for the numbers guy!

If you are a numbers guy, and we already know who you are, then this is your time to shine. Your time to shatter previous records, your time to brag without having to alter your fish story in the slightest degree! Your time to be a true honest lad, sit back, rope fish, slurp on warm soup, and belly laugh at the craziness that is April in Montana.

What an incredible start to the season it has been. Cold night temps and occasional snow flurries by day, have created an early spring recipe for the ages. Fish are happy to say the least; with 30+ fish days almost guaranteed every time the boat hits the water (57 in one session a guest tallied, I do not count, so his word against nobodies I guess). The freestone rivers are currently on the drop creating epic dry fly eats. It’s only a matter of time until our huge snow pack makes its way into the lower valleys and spikes everything.

People overlook April in Montana. You need to break that habit and change your per-conceived notions! April/May consistently produce the most big fish to the net over any other month without question. Fish are hungry, both rainbows and browns alike, and they can be targeted any which way you prefer! Streamers, nymphs, dries, they all work given the river and day! The MO is a place if you haven’t visited, you just plain should! TBFF = The Big Fish Factory.

Repeat clients, Anoop and Stephanie with an awesome double up. Thank you for coming out guys, and bringing new friends along and also those awesome muffins. Congrats on the future fly fishing baby girl. Cant wait for next time!

Trout season is just around the corner!

All good things must come to an end… at least that is what someone said a long time ago, and someone else decided to repeat it over and over. At AWA, we believe in keeping the good things rowin.

Our Louisiana Redfish season is into its final few weeks before getting put on hold till October. Between the months of April and September we chase wild trout throughout the last best place on earth, Montana. Very few coveted spots are left on the front, back, middle of our boats this season. April 16,17,18,25,26 are still waiting to be rescued from their naked self on the calendar. The month of May has a few consecutive dates. August as well. After that, unless someone cancels, we will be waiting till 2020 to meet each other on the water in Montana! THANK YOU to all who have reserved their spots already. We cannot express how excited we are to see you again, or meet for the first time. Making lasting relationships and memories into the future is really what this whole fishing deal is about.

I like days off and fishing for myself, but I would rather book out and see more smiles on the water. Spread the love to friends, family, co-workers, or even randoms on the street. We would love to show them all, our special place we call home!
