Buglife Fly Fishing
Craig, Montana
A licensed Montana fishing outfitter with a base at 100 Barnes Lane in Craig and a second presence at Red Lodge, Buglife sits less than 40 minutes from both the Great Falls and Helena airports. The business advertises 15 or more years guiding Montana tailwaters and freestone rivers, and states that its outfitter is the only licensed one living on the Missouri River full time. Nine waters appear on its list: the Missouri, Bighorn, Blackfoot, Bitterroot, Dearborn, Yellowstone, Stillwater and Shoshone rivers, plus creeks in the Red Lodge area. Alongside day trips it books corporate fishing outings and fly fishing lessons, and it points visitors toward local dining and lodging rather than housing them.
