FAQ
Can I keep fish?
NO! GVO has a no kill policy. That’s not to say you can’t take what you’ve learned with us and go on your own time (make sure you read the regs, every river is different and so are the sections of rivers) and keep fish.
Whoops I broke the rental rod, what now?
Don’t worry that’s why they all have warranties. There is a $50 fee that covers the rod, shipping and handling.
Whats the weather going to be like?
“Clear to mostly cloudy with a chance of precipitation, winds gusting variably.” With that said, it is not uncommon to see afternoon showers in Montana. Dress in layers.
What flies do I need?
Feel free to bring your own fav’s or home ties, but your guide will also have a wide range of local flies for you.
Should I bring my own rod?
Of course (refer to the “What To Bring” page for info on sizes). GVO also has rentals available.
What’s for lunch?
Lunch options are as varied as fly options. Before your trip we’ll make lunch arrangements with you. Lunches can be as simple as a quick sandwich to stopping for a gourmet shore lunch. After booking you will be prompted to fill out our handy menu form by clicking here.
Can we put three people in a boat?
We encourage you to find another person for a second boat. Only two people can fish at one time so the third is sitting, not having fun, watching everyone else.
Will my cellphone work?
No! You don’t need it anyway, you’re on vacation!
Can I bring beer?
GVO would prefer if you celebrated at the end of the trip. Beer tastes better at the end of the trip anyway.
Can we spin fish?
Sure. GVO will gladly teach you how to fly fish, but will gladly take you out fishing however you want to fish.
If the weather is bad can we cancel?
(more info here)
“If you don’t like the weather just wait 15 minutes.” If it looks like it might rain- it probably will, but not for long. The weather in Montana is usually short lived.
What is you cancelation policy?

Do you take credit cards?
Sure do. There’s more about this on our rates page too. (more info here)
