what clients are saying

choosing excellence
“Jake Hensley is hands down the best river guide in our region. My family has been floating with and learning from Jake for over a decade now. He is incredibly flexible and patient with my children who are new to the world of fly fishing and at the same time he is able to provide an enriching and superior experience to expert anglers like my father who has been fishing for over 50 years. He is an enthusiastic teacher, fantastic communicator, and best of all, Jake will get you on fish! His intimate knowledge of Western Montana fisheries and his ability to adapt with the situation always impress. When you choose Jake as your guide, you are choosing excellence.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of fishing with Jake multiple times. His knowledge, care, and skill is second to none. It’s amazing how he can navigate tricky waters, while simultaneously giving direction to a person on the front and the back, all while carrying on a stimulating conversation. I truly will never fish with anyone else. My business has booked numerous multi-boat trips with Jake and they always go off without and a hitch and everyone I talk to is blown away by the level of skill and amount of fun they had. I highly recommend anyone wanting to fish in Montana to go with Jake, you will not be disappointed.”
