Men's Fly
Fishing Week 2026
- sep 20-26, 2026
- Madison River, Montana
A Week Designed Just for Men Who Love Fly Fishing
Join a small group of passionate anglers for an unforgettable week on Montana’s world-famous Madison River, one of the premier Blue Ribbon trout fisheries in the United States. Hosted by Diana Magistrelli, owner of Montana Spirit Guest Lodge, this retreat offers a perfect blend of fishing adventure, great food, comfort, and the camaraderie of like-minded men.
Guests fish the Madison, Yellowstone, and Henry’s Fork, and consistently leave asking when they can come back for more. This is your week.
Why Fall Fishing Is So Special
September is a magical time on the Madison. The crowds are gone, the air is crisp, and brown trout begin their migration into our semi-private stretch of river. Expect consistent dry-fly and nymph fishing with active rainbows and browns.
Cooler weather and occasional cloudy days bring out the baetis hatch — a favorite for seasoned anglers.
Beyond the Madison, you’ll have easy access to:
- Henry’s Fork of the Snake River (Idaho)
- Gallatin, Firehole, and Gibbon Rivers
- Yellowstone River for native cutthroats
- Optional guided trips to Slough Creek or the Lamar River inside Yellowstone National Park
Your Montana Spirit Experience Includes
- Six nights of comfortable, double-occupancy lodging
- All meals from Sunday dinner through Saturday breakfast (Wednesday evening is free to enjoy local restaurants)
- Packed lunches for your river days
- Access to our semi-private stretch of the Madison River
- Guidance and local insight on where and how to fish each water
Arrive Sunday afternoon to settle in and maybe sneak in a few casts before supper. Spend your week fishing under Montana’s big skies, relaxing by the river, and sharing stories that will stay with you long after the trip ends.
