  In June, Worley Bugger Fly Co. will host a 3 day-4 Night adventure to the fabulous "Montana High Country Ranch".  Here you will be treated to the best of southwest Montana's fly fishing.  Join us as we spend our days fishing the beautiful rivers and private waters of Montana.
   
 
BEAVERHEAD RIVER
  Montana's finest trophy trout stream well known for producing Montana's largest trout year after year and the home waters of "MHCR". The headwaters originate from Clark Canyon Reservoir, a bottom feed dam. This helps to create the ultimate growing conditions for both trout and the aquatic insects. With heavy hatches of caddis, mayflies, small stoneflies and crane flies it is no wonder the population of trophy trout is so high.
   
 
BIG HOLE RIVER
  The classic trout stream and one of America's last undammed rivers. It offers both tremendous fishing and some true Montana scenery. Browns, Rainbows, Cutthroat, Brook and Grayling readily rise to a dry fly on the Big Hole. The Salmon Fly hatch or what mom referred to as the "Father's Day hatch" offers anglers the excellent possibility of taking a large trophy trout on a big dry!
   
 
POINDEXTER SLOUGH
  Offers the angler the best in Spring Creek challenge. If you enjoy stalking trout in crystal clear water with small flies and a light rod then Poindexter is just waiting to test your skills.
   
 
   
 
Professional Local Guides  
  Montana High Country Ranch offers some of the finest, knowledgeable guides working the rivers of Southwest Montana.  On this trip, Kyle Giampaoli will lead us on an expedition to the waters of the Beaverhead and Big Hole rivers in search of large Brown, Rainbow and Cutthroat Trout. 

Kyle grew up in Northern California and began his fly fishing career like many of us, under the guidance of his father.  He began guiding professionally in his teens around the local waters of Northern California for "Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters".  In Montana, he has worked extensively with several of Southwest Montana most respected outfitters. 

   
 
Kyle is not only a proficient fly fishermen and caster, but is also well known for producing some of the deadliest fly patterns for the large Browns and Rainbows of the Beaverhead.  His fly patterns can be seen decorated on the thick brush and heavy vegetation of the Beaverhead.

His streamer and nymph imitations are some of the most recommended patterns among the local fly shops of Dillon. 

Kyle's "Egg Head" Sculpin was recently featured in Fly Fishermen Magazine as one of the best new flies for 2003!
