Joe Cummings

Joe Cummings, one of our finest fly fishing guides. Joe is a 4th generation Montana native that spent has spent his life either working on the Stevensville family ranch, hunting birds, chasing big game, or with his feet wet in Western Montana waters. After Joe spent 5 seasons of professional football that included stints with the San Diego Chargers and Buffalo Bills, he came back to Missoula and began guiding in his home state.

Born and raised in Montana, he has spent decades of seeing our area in every condition. From stalking the giants of the Bitterroot, to the massive pods of the Missouri and Clark Fork, Joe loves to feed dry flies to

rising fish. During the late fall you can find Joe guiding hunters in eastern Montana in pursuit of big Mule Deer Bucks. Joe is a spot and stalk style guide who lives in a spotting scope and plays the Mule deer chess game with focus and patience. He is friendly, hard working, and relishes the drama that comes in pursuit of trophies.

Rich Winters, an experienced Montana deer and elk hunting guide. Rich Winters

Rich spent all of his time growing up on the river or in the woods of Montana. Rich (or Richie as his friends call him) was born in Eastern Montana and mved to the Rocky Mountains as a young adult. Richie spends his summer guiding on Montana’s Blue Ribbon Trout streams, and spends autumn in the woods guiding Elk and Mule Deer in the Missouri Breaks.

Richie’s love for the outdoors is what led him to guiding and it is exactly what keeps him doing it today. Richie personally enjoys calling to big elk and stalking huge Missouri River Breaks bucks in Eastern Montana. His love for hunting and fishing, and helping his clients chase after their dreams, has led to some lifelong memories and friendships along with some great stories.

Brooks Jessen, a fantastic fishing and hunting guide.

Brooks Jessen

Brooks Jessen is an Ennis, Montana native. Brooks says, “My first memories as a small boy were riding with my Dad in his jeep in the mountains near Ennis, catching trout in mountain lakes, and fishing the Madison River. I also remember helping my Dad drag a big mule deer buck back to his jeep, and trying to hold up the rack of a 6x6 bull elk. That was in the early 70’s, but I was indoctrinated at around 5 years of age to be a hunter and fisherman.”

Brooks started guiding professionally in 2001 by doing fly fishing and big game hunting work for Carl Mann. He has a lifetime of hunting and fishing experience harvesting Pope and Young whitetail buck with his bow along with numerous elk and antelope. Brooks says, “I started bow hunting and killed a small whitetail buck along the Missouri River in North Dakota when I was 10 years old. I got real lucky and met a bow hunting guru who taught me the ethics, patience, and dedication that it takes to be a proficient bow hunter.”

Brooks moved to Missoula, Montana in 1995 to finish his studies at the University of Montana. Taking advantage of some of the best fly fishing in the west by fishing and floating the Clark Fork, Bitterroot, Blackfoot and Rock Creek rivers, Brooks has paid his dues and now guides over 110 fly fishing days for multiple fly shops and local outfitters – from March through September. In the Fall, he will sneak in a few days of bow hunting for elk and start guiding archery elk hunters for Carl Mann. Then, it’s the pursuit of trophy mule deer, guiding hunters in the Missouri River Breaks of Eastern Montana.

Brooks says, “I truly enjoy sharing the moments and opportunities that we are offered here in Montana with clients. From netting a 22-inch brown trout, to spotting and putting a hunter on a Boone/Crocket Muley, it’s a rewarding job knowing that I am helping make lifetime memories similar to my own.”

Travis Jones

Travis Jones will help you find and shoot the mule deer and elk of a lifetime! Travis Jones spent all of his time growing up on the rivers or in the woods of Idaho. Travis was born in Southern Idaho and lived there until moving to Montana. Travis spends his summer guiding on Montana’s blue ribbon trout streams, and spends autumn in the woods guiding for Elk and Mule Deer in the Missouri River Breaks. Travis’s love for hunting, fishing and spending time in the outdoors is what led him to guiding and it is exactly what keeps him doing it today. Travis personally enjoys calling to Huge bull elk, stalking monster bucks in beautiful Big Sky Country and praising his black labs when they retrieve his geese, ducks and upland game birds. His love for hunting and fishing, and helping his clients chase after their dreams, has led to lifelong memories, great stories and lasting friendships.
