Great Gallatin Guide: Bert Horsley

Land the freshest catch in the net: New-comer Bert Horsley! Bert is originally from Virginia, where he grew up fishing waters in the central and southwestern parts of the state. He started fishing with bait and spinners, but was introduced to fly fishing and never looked back. A graduate of the University of Richmond, he taught high school in Virginia for six years before moving to Montana where he currently teaches.

As an educator he is passionate about seeing people learn and experience new things and is patient throughout this process. He loves finding new places and water to fish, but also enjoys time fishing familiar waters. Along with fishing, he also enjoys tying and spends a good deal of time doing so through the winter. Bert lives in Belgrade with his wife Rhiannon and two daughters, Hayden and Delaney. Along with fishing he loves time with his family enjoying the outdoors and pleasures of living in Montana.
