Hooked Outfitting is a full service guide operation owned by Garrett Blackburn, who holds Montana Outfitter license #12505. Its base is Ennis, a town of roughly 850 people with several bars, restaurants and lodging options, described on the site as the place where fly fisherman meets cowboy. Beyond running guided days, the outfit arranges custom lodging and dining packages around a trip. Its guide roster fishes well beyond southwest Montana: Blackburn guided at Bristol Bay Lodge in Alaska and spends winters as head guide at Martin Pescador Lodge in Chilean Patagonia, and other guides bring Alaska and Chile seasons of their own. The territory reaches eight Montana blue ribbon trout streams within two hours of town, including the Yellowstone, Jefferson, Gallatin, Ruby and Missouri, plus area lakes and small streams.
