It seems like yesterday James Gibbon was out on the Gallatin River fly fishing with sister and brother in law! How fast the time goes by! I look forward to being able to fly fish more this summer and plan on really getting after it. We are lucky and blessed to have some of the best fly fishing in the country here in Bozeman, Montana and it would be a shame to let these resources go to waste. Below are some pictures of my last fly fishing trip of last summer and I will have to wait out the winter until spring!

In the meantime as I wait for spring, I’d like to share with you a few of my essential pieces of gear:

Simms Flyfishing Hat - https://www.simmsfishing.com/shop/mens/headwear
Simms Vest - https://www.simmsfishing.com/shop/gear/vests
Simms Sungaiter - https://www.simmsfishing.com/shop/mens/headwear/sungaiter-2
R.L. Winston Rods - https://winstonrods.com/product-category/fly-rods/
Smith Optics - https://www.smithoptics.com/us/Root/Men%27s/Sunglasses/c/1100?inStockOnly=on
Lululemon ABC Jogger - https://shop.lululemon.com/c/men-joggers/_/N-8rt?icid=US

Now all of these items are purely optional, but in my opinion are essentials if you want to get the most out of your summer fly fishing. I’m curious to learn more about what others have planned for their summer fly fishing adventures? Is Montana on the top of anyone’s list of spots to go? Let me know in the comments below!

Best,
