Missoula Fly Fishing Adventures with Renegade Outfitters

Located in western Montana’s rugged outdoors near Missoula, Renegade Fly Fishing Outfitters delivers unparalleled angling experiences on legendary waters like the Clark Fork and Blackfoot Rivers. This region, carved by glacial melt and volcanic activity, offers a dynamic landscape of rushing rivers threading through forested valleys and rocky breaks that challenge both novices and seasoned anglers alike. With over 20 years of guiding expertise, Eric Ederer and his team have cemented Renegade as a pillar in this corner of Montana’s fly fishing scene.

The Clark Fork River’s glassy runs and pocket waters teem with trout species including trophy-sized browns, rainbows, and native bull trout. Guests regularly report hooking “the trifecta” of species in a single day, thanks to Renegade’s intimate knowledge of feeding patterns and habitat. Whether drifting in a raft or fishing from shore, Eric’s uncanny ability to read water and instruct anglers on tactics like dry fly hoppers or skating techniques ensures top-water action and memorable connections with the fish.

The Blackfoot River experience offers a contrasting vibe—a serene float framed by cottonwoods and basalt cliffs, where dry fly fishing dominates and wildlife viewing complements the outing. Renegade’s guides balance hard work with genuine passion, guaranteeing that every angler, from first-timers to veterans, leaves with new skills and stories. Groups of up to ten can be expertly managed, providing tailored service without losing the intimacy of personal attention.

More than just a guiding service, Renegade Fly Fishing Outfitters acts as a gateway to Montana’s wild waters, constantly adapting to seasonal shifts to maximize every possible opportunity.
