Here’s what our clients have to say about us
Peter McDaniel
If it wasn’t for Peter’s help and teaching, I would have never learned how to fly-fish and wouldn’t enjoy the sport as much as I do today. Madison River Outfitters has a family feel where everyone knows you by name and is truly happy to see you. Brad has assembled a top-notch shop and guide crew that enjoy fly-fishing themselves and pass on that enthusiasm & knowledge to the clients. Every year that we come back we are eager to catch up on MRO family news, and FISH!!!
Take care and see you this spring,
Mike & Tammy Merriman
Rick Welle
MRO has several great fishing guides. I have had the pleasure of fishing with most of them one time or another when Rick Welle wasn’t available.
However, I have been fortunate to fish with Rick for almost thirty years. Why am I fortunate? He’s half fish and knows every run, rock and pocket that holds trout in the Madison River.
Most of all, his knowledge of the outdoors, birds, animals, trees and flowers always adds to the day.
Finally, he is a very humble gentleman that you want for a friend and can’t help having a great day on the river with him.

As a follow-up to our visit, Claudia and I wish to extend our gratitude for the courtesy and attention we received from Madison River Outfitters. This was our second visit using your services and it was more outstanding than the first. With your company’s help we have developed a love and appreciation for the Yellowstone environments that we hope to enjoy every year. Each time we come back to New York City, we know the real value of our trip to Yellowstone. Mickey, our guide, is a superb guide and a great guy. Unlike other guides, he knows where to find the fish! He also knows a lot about the park and brings insights that enrich our natural experience in Yellowstone. Please let him know we will be back for more.

Mike Loebl
I have been fishing of of West Yellowstone for about 15 years, and have used Madison River Outfitters for my fishing supplies, my guides, and as my fishing coach. They are always a great resource for a part-time fisherman like me, I really enjoy the people there, and the guides are very professional and great at getting me over fish. Mike Loebl has been my fishing guide for several of those 15 years, and I have not only caught a lot of fish with him, but I have also learned a lot about fishing from him. They are the best, most professional, and friendliest outfitter in West Yellowstone!

Dear Mickey and Jed,
Thanks for such a great family day. It was the highlight to our Montana Vacation. We all learned a lot about fly fishing (and how difficult it is). We loved it and hope to do it again. Thanks!!!

Ty Holloway
During our family vacation to West Yellowstone two weeks ago, we booked a float trip for my son and me. It proved to be a successful trip and a memorable experience. Ty Holloway proved to be an awesome guide who went well above the “call of duty” for us to enjoy the day. He is truly “first class”. Throughout the day, we landed about 30 fish and had many more on the line that did not make it to the net. The brown trout that my son caught in the attached photo was the highlight. Ty asked that we send the photo to you, so here it is.
Please pass along our thanks again to Ty for the great day on the Madison. We will be back!!
