Headhunters - Single handed nymph rig caught this one

Headhunters

Premier fly fishing store in the middle of a tiny town in Craig, Montana (population about 40)…read more They compete with 2 other shops and a number of guides but they provide excellent service, guides, and shop. Went on a group trip with Gig Harbor Fly shop out of Washington for 5 days. See my other reviews for the fly shop and owner: Blake Merkin. I loved this group because I got to fish the way I wanted to fish: trout spey. While most of the world is single handed fishing, this shop is very familiar with trout spey - also called microspey; Headhunters caters to 2 handed anglers. I am such an angler - I always fish with a 2 hander for steelhead, salmon, ocean surf fishing, bay fishing, and even trout in my local waters. From the time you enter the shop to the time you leave, this store offers more than the square footage of the shop. They have the flies that catch real fish, rods, lines, reels, and clothing & accessories. I was looking for an integrated fishing line for my newly purchased 5wt trout spey rod so I brought along my reel with backing on it ready to buy. But when I could not decide between a scandi or skagit integrated line, the shop was so nice to offer a no cost loaner/demo of the line. They even put their line on their Sage reel plus a tapered leader!. I can not believe a fly shop would offer to do this as all other fly shops I have been into either do not offer a demo program nor would they even offer to let you use a line for free! I ended up buying the line after using it for a day - they definitely know how to gain confidence in their services and products! The best guide out of Headhunters: Whitney Gould - was the best 2 handed guide & instructor I have ever met! Whitney was the only FFF certified casting THCI and multi world champion spey cast distance competitor. She certainly knows how to guide a spey angler on the Missouri big time! She got me onto many stretches of the water where I could get out of the boat, walk & wade into some huge fish. Have to say, it's best day I have had using my 2 handed rod. This shop is a must stop by and I would definitely return to this blue ribbon fishery!

Good job on loosing my key fob twice, with your shuttle service. At least you found it once and I…read morehave only had to buy one new key fob. They do know the MO well but they have really commoditized the sport.

I had an amazing time with Shelly on the Missouri River and the Madison! She knows her rivers,…read morethat is for sure. A few particular times she would say to cast it "there" and boom, I would catch a fish. If we weren't catching for a bit, she would want to change the fly. Shelly is so attentive to everything all at once. Rowing, looking out for fishy water, switching up flies, looking out for upcoming boulders and rocks and noticing wildlife. She is a real conscientious multi-tasking guide. I feel that women guides are better at this than men, especially after my experience with her on the water. She goes above and beyond to assure you a fun day on the water. Looking forward to my trip back to Montana next summer!

fished the Missouri with Shelly Ehmer and it was the most amazing day of fishing I have ever had. I…read morecaught fish after beautiful fish, even a Walleye. Shelly was more than welcoming on her boat, provided the exact instruction I needed and put me on fish. She was professional, kind, informative, funny, friendly and shared with me the little and big tips that will make a huge improvement in my fishing. She is an expert who would be a great guide for all levels of fishing experience. . We even floated by a beautiful bald eagle...just to top off my first trip to Montana! We plan to return next summer for more fishing with Shelly.
