"Donn- Your facility on the Clark Fork River is great, the food was superb and the experience of your instruction was the real deal! Now I have the confidence to start my own guiding service."

Donn Dale’s Fly Fishing Guide School was a great experience for me. I’ve been fly fishing for more than 40 years and had been thinking about moving toward a second career of guiding for a while. The school really helped convince me that I had what it took. It sharpened the edge of the many skills that a guide needs, such as casting, drift boat tactics and streamside entomology. As a bonus, the scenery, the company and the food was all great. I am now a licensed guide in Montana and Wisconsin, with a special focus on fishing for great lakes steelhead.

"I have been a guest at Clark Fork River Outfitters for the last seven years. Each visit lasted for one week and involved flyfishing for 5 straight days each trip. The dry fly fishing on the Clark Fork is the best I have ever experienced. Throwing a dry fly to rising trout is a frequent occurrence and hook ups are a thrill. A 20 fish day were often the results. Accommodations are rustic and access to the river is excellent as cabins over look the river. Food is plentiful and the home cooking is yummy. Guiding on the river is offered and the guides are intimately familiar with the whims of the Clark Fork River. I have fished areas of the river from Missoula to the Flathead River with good results in all areas. For an overall excellent flyfishing experience there is little to compare."

Rowing Instruction

"From insect identification to cooking a hot meal, Donn taught us the skills necessary to become successful fly fishing guides. It was an unforgettable experience spending two weeks at the rustic Clark Fork River Lodge learning how to become better anglers and guides. Donn shared a tremendous amount of information with us that I have used in my guide trips. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in becoming a fly fishing guide."
