About Us

 The Fly Shop

The Missoulian Angler began with the vision of Paul Koller. Starting out in a small location in Missoula, Montana, he grew the business on his fly tying experience and expertise with bugs. After a couple of location changes around town, the shop ended up in its NEW LOCATION IN MAY 2011: 802 South Higgins.

As the oldest fly shop in Missoula, we continue to focus on providing quality fly tying materials, tying classes for all skill levels, and enjoy teaching others about fly tying techniques. We still believe in the value of walking into a fly shop, being greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff, and checking out what they are tying on the vise.
