Time to Grip it & Rip it

It doesn’t matter how many fish you catch (but yes, you will catch a lot of fish) what matters to us, is how much fun you have doing it. No egos, no expectations, just grip it and rip it. We at Vanilla Gorilla Outdoors specialize in maximizing the minimization of bummers, every single day.

We took two friends who'd hardly ever fished to flyfish the Bighorn River, MT. They did well.

Welcome. You are one of the easiest to guide. We breakdown fly fishing into four simple steps. The rod, the reel, the line, the fish. We won’t overwhelm you with jargon or bombard you will advanced techniques. You will learn the basic principles of casting, line management, and landing a fish.

This isn’t your first rodeo

two wonderful days on the Bighorn, Montana, in early summer. Great to see the bears.

You’ve fly fished before and want to brush up or learn new tricks. We customize the day for you and your goals on the river. Giddy up!

Been there, got the t-shirt

Christine caught what will be a world record brown trout on the Rio Grande, in Tierra del fuego, Argentina

You’ve essentially hired an awesome rower/bartender/chef to put you on fish.

This is a beautiful video made by Dr. George Fielding, one of my greatest clients and dear friend.

a great few days with friends fishing the Big Horn River Montana during the trico hatch
