With Joe as your outfitter and guide on the river, he will ensure that your trip meets all of your expectations, you'll improve your fly fishing skills and create everlasting memories. Joe has been a Montana fly fishing guide since 1992. He moved to Helena in 1999, obtained his outfitting license and started X-Stream fly fishing that year. He purchased the Missouri River Lodge in 2000 and has catered to fly fisherman all over the world.

"I wanted to spend as much time as I could fishing, so my college summers were spent guiding on several rivers in Montana. I am living my dream and want to share my passion for fly fishing with others," Joe says.

In the lodge and in the kitchen, Lindsey will be sure that each guest is very well fed. With Lindsey overseeing management of the lodge, the guests are sure to have their needs accommodated.
