The Missouri River Flyfishers is a voluntary organization that has, as its philosophy, the promotion of fly fishing and the protection of cold water habitat through stream enhancement and restoration projects. Besides this philosophy, the organization has six stated purposes:

1. To promote the cooperation between landowners, fishermen, and state agencies to maintain the in-stream flow of the Missouri drainage
2. To promote positive landowner/fisher relationships
3. To educate the non-flyfishing public to a catch-and-release philosophy.
4. To promote flyfishing as the most environmentally sound way to enjoy our sport fishery.
5. To promote, uphold, and work for the objectives of the Federation of Fly Fishers.
6. To promote, support, and work for the objectives of Trout Unlimited.

Since its inception in the spring of 1981, the Missouri River Flyfishers has worked hard to fulfill this philosophy. We have provided free fly-casting and fly-tying clinics for the general public.
Through our major fund-raiser, our Annual Art Auction and Banquet, we have donated thousands of dollars to other non-profit organizations dedicated to preserving stream habitat, such as the Montana Land Reliance.
