Fish On — Montana Fly Fishing Magazine

The O/B team recently revived Montana Fly Fishing Magazine, and to celebrate the Spring/Summer 2025 issue, we're giving away a Hardy Ultralite LL fly rod paired with an Ultradisc Cassete fly reel—a $1,250 combo, ideal for small-stream fishing around Montana. 

To enter, read the magazine at digital.mtflyfishingmag.com, then find our giveaway post on MFFM Instagram or Facebook, and tell us in the comments what you liked and what you'd like to see more of. No brown-nosing now; we want astute observations and legit advice. 

We'll scoop a name from the bowl later this summer. So get reading, and get more info about the rod & reel at hardyfishing.com. 

Congratulations to our winner Maegan Stabenow, for her careful reading and honest feedback: 

"I absolutely loved this issue of MFFM. The advocacy for preventing the spread of invasive species is particularly important for all anglers, especially in Montana. I appreciated the high-quality photographs and the article "Women of the Water" by Katie Thomas (Spring/Summer 2025, p. 46). Women are typically overlooked when it comes to fishing in general, and it was very satisfying to be recognized as a fellow angler. The BOW (Becoming an Outdoor Woman) program was something I'd not heard of before, and I'm considering attending a class sometime soon. The product recommendations were extremely helpful, and I loved how you included instructions on how to create a Tan Cicada Foam fly by hand. How awesome!" 

We are glad you enjoyed the magazine, Maegan. And we hope you like your new rod-and-reel setup.
