A fly shop and outfitting business at 472 Main Street in Melrose, Montana, established in 2006 and run by outfitter Ryan Barba, license number 11675. The shop sells in person and online, carrying flies, rods, reels, wading gear, apparel and accessories from Patagonia, Simms and Scott. Two-bedroom suites built in 2018 stand about thirty feet north of the shop door, and lodging is packaged together with guided days for guests who want both. A shuttle service is run for boaters, and daily fishing reports are posted through the season. Guided water is not limited to the home river: the Beaverhead, Jefferson and Clark Fork are also worked, and multi-day itineraries can move between them.
The shop’s guided water also includes the Beaverhead River.
