My Story
I'm Russ Dobrzynski, the founder and principle outfitter for Montana Dream Fishing Outfitters LLC. I moved to Montana in 2001 to work with adjudicated teenagers in a backcountry rehab program. That’s when I caught my first trout on a fly-rod and absolutely fell in love with the sport.
Growing up in Minnesota, I always enjoyed the outdoors. I was fishing by the time I was three and hunted as soon as I could hold a shotgun. I fell out of fishing for a while with college and moving around and quite honestly, just being a little bored with spin fishing. That first tug from a Missouri River brown on a streamer however, absolutely changed my life.
I spent the next few years exploring new water and learning a discipline I had become obsessed with. The objective always included catching fish but it was also the experience of being in the mountains, fishing in solitude, figuring out where fish live and learning about their habits and what they eat. That is what was so different about it for me and what drew me in. I learned quickly that you never finish learning and perfection might not ever be obtained but through the process of pursuing that perfect cast or presentation, one can expect a fair amount of adventure, some challenges, and a ton of unexpected rewards.
I bought my first drift boat in 2006 and spent every day I could on the water figuring out the Missouri. In 2007, I worked my first guide-trip. Since then, I have taken thousands of clients out fishing on the Missouri, Blackfoot, Dearborn, and several other world-renowned Montana rivers. I facetiously tell people I retired at the age of 37 and decided to fish the rest of my life but it is true; it doesn't feel like work most days--I've been having a blast and I'll never look back.
I enjoy teaching people. I also enjoy having fun sharing with people what Montana has to offer. It's the stories, the successes and failures; it's the learning about your prey and their surroundings and also learning about one's self in the process. As a guide and outfitter, I pride myself in being the vehicle for all these elements of fly fishing.
Keep 'em where they live...
