Knowledgeable, hard working, solid. Dan Kimzey anchors Bitterroot River Guides with dependable river skills and fish savvy; as adept guiding out of the boat or on wade excursions. Dan cut his fly-fishing teeth on Southwest Montana’s Beaverhead and Big Hole Rivers in the late 80s and he has fished everything from Alaska salmon and rainbows, to Saddam Hussein’s palace carp, to Colorado’s famously snooty big ‘bows, as well as trips to famed Pyramid Lake in decades of adventurous fly-fishing. Lieutenant Dan, as he’s known in our circle, is as solid as they come.

Young guns. Passionate, creative, hard working, instinctive. Inevitably we turn the keys over to the next generation of fishing guides, helping them to carry on the lessons and passion for this art we were taught by the true old schoolers of Montana fly fishing. Our newest guide and youngest member of our team, Rob carries on this tradition with full force enthusiasm in a cool smooth teaching style. Originally from the great fly fishing state of Pennsylvania, Rob started his guide career out of Twin Bridges on the lower Big Hole and Beaverhead Rivers soon after moving onto the Mighty Missouri for a few years before making his home in Hamilton. Rob is savvy beyond his years on the water, already a master of the Bitterroot and even teaches us old salts a thing or two on the Mighty Mo when us guides get an opportunity to share a boat together.
