About Us
Russell Parks
Russell has been in the outdoor education and recreation industry for most of his life. The early days were spent directing college recreation programs across the country. From kayaking, rock climbing, and expeditions to Mt. Everest base camp, Russell has traversed the globe leading recreation groups.
Russell landed in Missoula, Montana where he established himself as a leader in the fly fishing and outfitting community. He has served as a Board Member and President of The Fishing Outfitters Association of Montana (FOAM), as well as other non-profit conservation and education groups.
Russell’s decades of experience are apparent in a day on the water. His work ethic, patience, and knowledge are second to none. Full-time Missoula Fly Fishing Guides hired by Missoula Fly Fishing Outfitters can be relied upon to provide you with a great day on the water. Beginner or expert, if you spend a day on the water with MFFO you can expect to become a better angler.
Zach Scott
Zach grew up hunting and fishing in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He started fly fishing at 10 years old. For the first 3 years, he caught every fish that swims in Oklahoma on a fly rod. Trout were an afterthought that came from stocked rivers. Bass, catfish, and carp pulled harder and kept Zach's interest. It wasn't until a family fishing trip to Montanas Madison river that Zach turned his focus West.
Zach moved to Missoula in the summer of 2009 and quickly found himself working in a fly shop. As often happens, one thing leads to the next, and Zach is headed into his 11th year of guiding.
Zach currently sits on the board of The Fishing Outfitters Association of Montana as the Guide at large representative. When Zach isn’t working on the water, he is exploring Montana with his wife or chasing upland birds and waterfowl with his dogs.
