Andrew Grillos is a wealth of fly-fishing knowledge and one of the best tyers on the planet.

Andrew Grillos has been a great friend of mine for over a decade. Aside from being one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet, he’s also one of the fishiest. Whether you find him on a Colorado tailwater, a Washington steelhead river, A small Montana stream or a bonefish flat in Hawaii, you can bet Grillos is running up the score. His iconic fly patterns, like the Hippie Stomper and Bob Gnarly, are staples in most fly boxes.

When I found out that Andrew has been writing for Montana Angler, I knew I had to share some of his work. I was a little shocked to find that some of his articles had been heavily edited when shared by other outlets as well as posted without a by line.

Here are two great Grillos articles on fishing in Montana.
