"I have fished with Matthew Long many times for many years. In a place where their are many fine guides, Matthew stands out as far and away the best. He always has great judgment on where to fish and is a great, patient teacher. As my skills advanced, Matthew would see that I had new challenges. With Matthew's help, I learned to confidently fish some difficult waters. If you are an experienced fly fisherman, consider having Matthew guide you on the tough spring creeks in the area. For novices, Matthew always gets people into fish."

"Matthew and his crew have looked after me, my friends and my family on several trips over the last few years. We fish the Yellowstone River which can be a volatile mistress at times. Matt and his guides always find a way of putting us on fish no matter what the day is like. In addition, his mother, Kate, makes an outstanding lunch. It is always a great experience."

"I can't say enough about Long Outfitting-Matt, the staff, food, equipment, and love of the sport. My wife, myself, and our 8yr. old grandaughter floated the Yellowstone this Aug. 2012 with Matthew and had an excellent trip. He was the very best with our grandaughter (her 1st float trip) and worked very hard and conscientiously with her. His teaching skills are admirable and his compassion for children is remarkable. She loved the experience, even catching a few fish as a bonus.
Matt connected with our grandaughter to make this 1st experience a lifetime memory!!!"

"I have been using Long Outfitting for over 10 years. Not once have I been disappointed. Whether the fishing has been good, bad or ugly the experience of being on the river with Matt is always worth your time. When in Montana you would be a fool to use anyone else."

"A group of friends do a yearly trip to Montana and float with the Yellowstone with Long Outfitting. Over the years we've gotten to know Matt and his crew very well. Can't say enough about the crew and their ability to find fish even in tough conditions. Its a great experience start to finish with Matt and his guides"

"Long Outfitting provides a great fishing experience float fishing on the Yellowstone River. Knowledgeable guide and excellent food go a long way to make it a pleasant day when the weather and/or fish are not co-operating. If you are interested in a great western fishing experience catching cutthroat, brown and rainbow trout Long Outfitter is my recommended choice."

"My wife is from Montana so we visit every summer. Usually I fish the small creeks around their family cabin, but this year I wanted to go back on the Yellowstone. I researched Matt on the Orvis website. Sounded good to me. Matt was awesome! He is a very personal guy, great teacher, excellent guide, and now friend. When you finish your day in his boat, you feel like you've been fishing with one of your good friends who wants to show you all his good fishing holes. We only spent one day with Matt, but that was enough to consider him my guide from now on in Montana. We have already booked him for next year!"

Additional Thoughts:Excellent in every aspect of his career!!
"I have fished with Matthew and his guides for several years now,Even though I'm an avid fly fisher it's fun to go out with the guides and be pampered occasionally!Their knowledge of the local waters always means more trout to the net!!!Matthew always makes sure you get a FULL day on the water and then some if the bite is on!!"

Additional Thoughts:Matt always tries to accommodate your schedule
"I recommended several people to call Matt Long if they wanted to catch fish. Matt and his staff know all the subtle changes in weather, hatches, and water. We always catch fish, and that why we go with Matt."

"I made a short trip to the Paradise Valley last July and had the good fortune to book a day float of the Yellowstone with Matthew Long. Matthew put me on a ton of trout and was an affable guy to spend the day with. He's a hard worker who goes above and beyond. For example, hearing I was planning to fish DePuy's spring creek later in the trip, Matthew took me to the creek after our float and showed me some good spots to try on my own. I'll definitely fish with him again."

Additional Thoughts:Mathew is an expert fishing guide and very patient
"In July 2012 our entire family took our family vacation to Livingston Montana. Prior to our departure from home I reserved a guided fishing trip with Long Outfitting for my brother inlaw, my father, my son and myself. Matthew Long the owner operator and his father were our guides for the day. Mathew drew the short straw and was stuck with me and my 13 year old son who had only fly fished twice before (Mathew has the patience of Job) We had a wonderful time that we will never forget. It was a beautiful day on the Yellowstone river. We caught a many cut throat, rainbow, cut bows and whitefish. I would recommend
Long Outfitting to any one wanting a fun fish catching day."

Additional Thoughts:Looking back over the last 15+ years of fishing many different Montana waters with Matthew, I always look forward to next years fishing excursions.
"Since the mid 1990's, Matthew and I have become great friends and fishing companions. As an older gentelman in my mid 80's, I appreciate the patience and expertise that every day on the water brings. We have fished a number of different Montana waters over the years with typically a minimum of 10 to 15 trips each season. Every fishing day varies from the next, and every spring brings the anticipation of another great season to come. No other guide in the area knows our local waters like him."
