December 2020 – Fishs Eddy O

IntroThe main objective of a trip with Fishs Eddy O is fly-fishing for trout, while enjoying a day of new experiences, fun and adventure. Trips are catered for all levels of ability, from the raw beginner to the seasoned angler. Whether perfecting a basic cast, more advanced casting, reading water, or identifying insect hatches, we want every guest to come away relaxed, happy and a better fly-fisherman. We’re as good at customer service as we are at fishing. Eddie Olwell – Owner Eddie Olwell has been fishing most of his life and began fly-fishing at the age of 13 honing his skills on the storied waters of the Catskill Mountains.

Eddie has fished the waters of western Montana since 1977 and began guiding on them in 1999.

Eddie has also been the featured guide on an episode of the long running television show Fly Fishing the World. Eddie has a great passion for rivers…

Abundant hatches and mild climate makes the Bitterroot a truly unique trout stream. Dry fly fishing begins in March with the large Skwalla Stone Fly, and continues through-out the season, well into October, ending with midges and smaller mayflies. Clark Fork River The Clark Fork of the Columbia is a large trout river by any standard. It gains water from Rock Creek, the Bitterroot and Blackfoot rivers near Missoula, before continuing on its journey to the Pacific. Like the river, the trout of the Clark Fork are large and challenging. You can cast to pods of rising rainbow trout with small dry flies. The proper fly presented naturally will be rewarded with fish over 17 inches with some topping 20 (that is if you…
