Go small and get the take. That is the word on the street as we move past the last week of March into glorious April. Has madness ensued? Not quite but we are getting ripe.

Missouri River Spring Tips
Cooler weather this week including lots of snow with light winds this week. Should be really great fishing out there. Swinging, stripping's and the dry fly game will be played.
What We Do.
-
Guided Fly Fishing.
Outfitting and guiding built Headhunters. Owners Mark Raisler and John Arnold have decades of experience guiding, and are committed to providing our customers with great guides and experiences.
-
Fly Shop.
Our small and funky shop has everything you need for a day on the water. More importantly, our knowledgeable staff will answer your questions and get you headed out in the right direction.
-
Lodging.
There are plenty of trout in the Missouri River, but not nearly enough accommodations for all of the anglers here to catch them. Let Julie help you find the right accommodations for you or your group.
-
Shuttles.
Our shuttle service will move your vehicle from put-in to take-out while you’re floating and fishing the Missouri River. We operate the largest shuttle service on the river, and will help make your float easy.
-
Rental Boats.
We proudly rent Adipose “Flow” Drift boats built locally in Helena, MT, and designed for big rivers like the Missouri. Rental boats often get booked well in advance during the summer, so plan ahead.

About Us.
We don’t judge our shop by the products we carry. And we definitely don’t judge it by size. Our shop staff and guides are what makes us, along with the community of anglers that make Headhunters their base.
HEADHUNTER 2
Long casts and delicate presentations. The ability to turn over long leaders in windy western conditions. Accuracy defined in inches. The Headhunter 2 Technical fly line was designed completely in-house by dry fly snobs who were looking for a line that would conquer the conditions we face every day on the Missouri River.
