Quality, integrity and innovation

Since 1982, Beartooth Flyfishing has earned a reputation built on quality, integrity and innovation. Our product research has been done on the blue-ribbon waters of the West: Yellowstone National Park, the spring creeks of Idaho and Montana, the Madison, Ruby, Beaverhead, Big Hole, Jefferson, Bighorn and Missouri, and the steelhead rivers of the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia.

We’ve never stopped improving the original concept, which has resulted in a complete selection of floating and sinking leaders in a variety of lengths, tapers, colors and weights, for every surface and subsurface situation.

  • Perma-Float leaders
  • Illusion Fluorocarbon leaders
  • Museum Quality Monofilament leaders
  • Lead core leaders
  • Knotless leaders in 7½, 9 and 12 feet
  • Fluorocarbon tippet from 80 lb to 7X
