Keep Casting with Fins & Feathers

For the fishermen who choose to social distance by "Casting Through the Chaos", we've got you covered. With the difficulties, distancing, and distress around us, nothing sounds better than getting our waders in the water and casting some of those cares away. If you love the outdoors and fly-fishing is your gateway to R&R, then Bozeman, Montana is the perfect place to stay hunkered down during this pandemic.

At Fins and Feathers, we know fishing is on the minds of many Bozeman area anglers, and we want to make getting the fly fishing necessities as easy as possible. With all the changes going on around us - what hasn't changed is that fly-fishing is still our main passion and love these days. Our Bozeman fly shop is still able to provide anything and everything for the fly-fishing angler whether you come to see us in our Bozeman Fly Shop or shop online.

Store Services

Note that some of our services like rental gear, repair service, and spooling up of reels/lines purchased elsewhere are currently unavailable or require advanced planning. Things like processing returns, refunds, and even returning phone calls just take longer right now as we work with a leaner staff than normal. Somedays we have staff answering phones remotely, so it might take us a bit longer to get back to you with questions related to product inventory (you can always look online - if you don't see it, we most likely don't carry it or are temporarily out of stock). There are days when we simply don't have time to answer the phones at all, but we always see emails come through - EMAIL US for the best service and most efficient responses.
