Montana Fly Fishing Guides – Headed to the Keys

Well it’s time for Eric Adams and his Dad to head down to the Florida Keys for a few days. Florida has been hit hard by the cool weather this spring so we’ll see what happens – at the very least we’ll have a great time looking for Bonefish and Tarpon with Captain Ted Christie and Captain Perry Coleman.

We’ll be able to keep you updated via the Mobile so stay tuned!

Yellowstone Valley Lodge – Updates & Improvements

While the mild winter settled over Paradise Valley these past few months the Yellowstone Valley Lodge has been a fury of activity. Our new owner has shown his passion for the property by making several major improvements. These much needed upgrades have touched nearly every building on the property and are certain to enhance our guests experience.

The home of Paradise Valley Grill has been completely renovated and will be virtually unrecognizable to former guests.  Some of the improvements include more seating, larger bar area, a beautiful wine rack, open kitchen design and much more.

The larger restaurant and full menu is a bonus that not many fly fishing lodges can boast, but we also wanted to make sure the intimacy that our guests have come to appreciate wasn’t lost.  In order to maintain the relaxed feel we’ve converted the fly shop into our Montana Fly Fishing Guides’ Cutthroat Lounge.  Some of the features include a new deck and seating area off the back of the lounge, beer kegerator included!  We’ve also retooled the interior with an entertainment center and comfortable seating for watching those late season MLB games or that instructional fishing video you should have watched before you came to Montana.

All of the cabins have been redecorated with new beds, headboards, and linens.  The interior and exterior seating areas have also been replaced with new furniture.

The main office and the manager’s quarters in the main lodge are being completely remodeled with a new entryway and more obvious signage for new guests.

We are excited about these new improvements and are eager for you to see them as well.  As soon as these projects are completed we’ll post some photos.

Pending World Record Bonefish

Our good friend Captain Ted Christie of the Florida Keys and angler Michael Swerdlow of Islamorada caught a pending world record bonefish on fly November 27, 2008.  Michael’s bonefish weighed 15 pounds, 4 ounces and was on 16 pound tippet.  Michael is an dedicated angler spending countless days looking for these monster ghosts of the flats.

The previous IGFA men’s record was 14 pounds, 12 ounces on November 2001 also at Islamorada.

Pictured are Captains Tim Kline, Ted Christie and angler Michael Swerdlow and the world record bonefish.
