Fly Fishing Gear and Equipment Reviews from Montana.
Squeeky’s #1 Favorite Fly Fishing Item. Bar None. Rio’s Fly Line Cleaning Towelette. Money. Use this towelette many times per day for fly line health. I find myself using it about 3 times per day. Strictly personal use. It is the tool, the vehicle, the fly line…that delivers the fly to the target. Why wouldn’t … Read more
Today is the SALE! Get on out here and save some money. And fish a little. The weather is fall like, and warm. BBQ today with Headhunters Famous Onion and Garlic Burgers! Headhunters is not known as the “Sale Shop”, (except for our Dollar Fly Sales!) but we occasionally feel the need to thin things … Read more
Bob Glassen with a great Blog today about his obsession with Indicators. We know you fellers are out there with similar issues…I may fall into this category too! If you’ve seen me on the river, you know I spend a lot of time nymphing. I’ll confess that I spend almost as much time thinking … Read more
You remember when you tossed those leaky waders in the trunk of your Chevy and told yourself to fix those shitty leaky waders before fall, and streamer fishing…up to your nuts. Now is the time to get those baby’s out and repaired. All you need is a tube of Aquaseal and a bottle of Cotol-240. … Read more
Is September a great dry fly month? No, not really. Can you dry fly fish in the month of September? oh, yeah. What you will see in the month? Some caddis and some Psuedocloens and some Callibaetis and some terrestrial action too. Will it all drive you absolutely nuts? Yes, of course. While September is … Read more
Here’s an odd product that is very popular with guides and a few anglers at Headhunters. Low light sunglasses. Yes, low light shades. Kind of an oxymoron, but a very important piece of gear for those that fish dries in cloudy or early/late in the day conditions. Or ask expereinced saltwater anglers. Over the past … Read more
Yes, purple continues to be the color of choice. Purple Morrish Hopper, Purple Peanuts, Grape Slushy, Purple Weight Fly, Purple Lightning Bug, Purple Holo Prince, Purple Zebra, Purple Haze… you get the idea. It would seem kind of ridiculous to believe that all flies must be purple to work, but if we sold purple Sharpie’s … Read more
Get Your Chaco Flips on the Cheap! We’re moving into fall. Kids are gathering school supplies, mornings are a bit cooler and anglers are starting to think streamers. The weather, though, still seems to be firmly fixed on “summer mode.” Bearing in mind we still have a few months of sandal wearing yet to come, Headhunters … Read more
How bout’ these apples. Your friends will not get away with it. The theft of your nippers or Hemo’s. Nope, you are safe. These are certainly identifiable. Sharp and effective. Pick them up at your local fly shop. Or your favorite. Like Headhunters.
Wait a few days til the weeds disappear and toss this outside the boat. Any cast that lands outside the ‘Adipose Flow’ driftboat is a good cast, Honest. October Caddis Pupa can bring on a big bite. Honest. See your local fly guru @ Headhunters Fly Shop. We got other bugs that work too. And … Read more
We have a 590 Sage Method fly rod at the shop. It is fast. It is cool looking. It is super light. It is accurate. It can throw a whole line pretty easily. It is stiff. We are super excited to have Sage’s newest rod in the shop, and we love throwing it. A really powerful … Read more
If you follow our Facebook Page, you’ve no doubt seen a few pictures of the new “Freestone Drfiter” from NRS. Yes, the inflatable drift boat – or IDB – is here. And it’s pretty cool. It occurred to me that Headhunters is kind of like the Area 51 of human powered river boats. Sit on … Read more
Montana Margaritaville The Ron Bartek first annual Montana Margaritaville Ice Cream Social kicks off tomorrow (Friday the 9th) afternoon around 3:00pm. Come on by and have Ron pour you one of his favorite drinks. He claims to be an aficionado. We’ll see. Pretty sure I saw him hauling around some 1800 Silver today, so he’s … Read more
Yep, cool new items from Derek DeYoung at Headhunters Fly Shop this week. Derek fishes the Missouri often and loves the size of the fish. Does he get inspiration from the fishery, this world class trout stream? Well, he has not said that, but we gotta believe he does. Right? Check out the hats, the … Read more
More from Squeeky today and a look into his nasty caddis box. The cool shit for sure. About half of these flies actually tied by Squeeky himself. Now you can clearly see that neither writing nor fly tying are strengths of his. He must have some positive talents? Maybe. Squeeky’s Caddis Box Part 2 Upper … Read more
