I've never fly fished in my life (TBH, I rarely even FISH). So when I learned our 2022 corporate…read moreleadership trip would be a 3-night fly fishing excursion on Montana's Madison River, I was honestly skeptical. But not did I learn how to cast a fly (and land a Trout!), but my visit to Madison Valley Ranch ended up being one of the best trips I've ever taken. From the moment you walk in the door, the ranch rolls out the red carpet. After being welcomed with a cold draft beer and tour of the property, we settled into our very comfortable guest rooms to unwind before dinner. Whether you plan to fly fish or not, the entire ranch is designed to make you feel at ease, and at home -- from the incredible back porch views to the outrageously good dishes served up at every meal. Manu and her team take customer service to a new level, from equipping you for an incredible day on the river to selecting the perfect bottle of Cabernet to pair with your dinner. No detail is too small for them, and no request goes unmet. The accommodations are as comfortable as any 4-star hotel, the meals as delicious as any gourmet restaurant, and the views as beautiful as a slice of heaven. And with ample meeting space for corporate groups, its the perfect setting for a team-building escape. I simply can't say enough about Madison Valley Ranch -- whether you're an experienced fisherman or just learning to cast a fly, it's hard to imagine a better place in America to put your rod into the river.

This a slice of heaven. I almost don't want to tell anyone else about this secret. The Lodging is…read morecomfortable and friendly and the staff is so genuine and warm I miss them!!! Seriously, Elizabeth is like a your favorite sister who is so happy that you've finally come home. The food is serious gourmet... As good as some of the best restaurants in Denver, San Francisco, DALLAS, NY and ect. Scott, the executive chef has serious chops and makes excellent use of natural organic and wild game ingredients. But let's not forget the fishing. Actually, the fishing sucks and no one should ever even think about putting a line in the water around here. That's right...these ARE NOT THE DROIDS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR...

As a long time fisherman but first time fly fisher brian not only produced dozens of fish daily for us but the way he teaches is hands down amazing. He is extremely calm and his patience as a teacher blew me and my family away. He is constantly watching and correcting you through the day. Teaching you about the correct ways to cast, fish locations, flys to use and refining your skills. It's amazing how he can do all of this as he spent 9 hours rowing down the river in 85 degree temps. He never let up. We had fish in the boat within minute of hitting the water. Thanks again Brian for the great memories and your fine teachings.

I don't even know where to begin. I'll sum it all up by saying Brian is truly superlative. He's a…read moreseasoned, knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide; an avid outdoorsman and conservationist; a patient, informative and thorough instructor; and an all-around really nice and very cool guy. As a female just learning to fly fish, there are plenty of ways I could be intimidated or belittled or demeaned. But Brian always treated me with respect and consideration and kindness. At one point, just like a chick, I was crying in his boat. He could not have been more professional, supportive and compassionate. When you want to engage with the great outdoors, whether you are an expert or novice, Brian is the man you want for your guide. Spend some time with him, you'll be better for it.

They provided excellent instruction and took us through varied terrain. Our horses were the best! After riding the open valley we ascended up a creek trail and had a nice lunch up high. A few days later we did a full-day of guided fishing on the Ruby. So glad we did! We learned so much from Isaac and Ben. Landed at least 10 apiece. Massive browns, a few rainbows and whitefish and man did they fight! Lost a few big ones too! These guys were such experts. They were great coaches and fine gentlemen. UCO is first class in our book!
