What We Do.

  • Guided Fly Fishing.

    Outfitting and guiding built Headhunters. Owners Mark Raisler and John Arnold have decades of experience guiding, and are committed to providing our customers with great guides and experiences.

  • Fly Shop.

    Our small and funky shop has everything you need for a day on the water. More importantly, our knowledgeable staff will answer your questions and get you headed out in the right direction.

  • Lodging.

    There are plenty of trout in the Missouri River, but not nearly enough accommodations for all of the anglers here to catch them. Let Julie help you find the right accommodations for you or your group.

  • Shuttles.

    Our shuttle service will move your vehicle from put-in to take-out while you’re floating and fishing the Missouri River. We operate the largest shuttle service on the river, and will help make your float easy.

  • Rental Boats.

    We proudly rent Adipose “Flow” Drift boats built locally in Helena, MT, and designed for big rivers like the Missouri. Rental boats often get booked well in advance during the summer, so make plans ahead of time.

  • About Us.

    We don’t judge our shop by the products we carry. And we definitely don’t judge it by size. Our shop staff and guides are what makes us, along with the community of anglers that make Headhunters their base.

A TACTICAL FLY LINE

The Headhunter 2 Tactical dry fly line was designed completely in-house by our crack team of dry fly snobs. We were looking for a line that would conquer the conditions we face every day on the Missouri River. Super long presentation are common, as are the need for accuracy within inches. The strong and ever-present wind is also there to add to the mix. And, you’re commonly making these difficult presentation while sitting in a boat. What we came up with is a bit unusual, but excels at the above criteria. We then added some visual markers to let the angler know where the line performs best. We continue to make improvements, and it continues to draw rave reviews from anglers.
