Kelly Galloup


Kelly and Penny Galloup bought the Slide Inn in March of 2002. They honeymooned on the Madison and always said that they would be back to stay. The purchase of this famous inn has completed that dream. Kelly has been a fly fishing guide for well over 30 years. He started guiding in Michigan at the age of 16. He started his fly shop, The Troutsman, in Traverse City, Michigan, in 1981.

He continued to run the shop until the spring of 2002 when he and his family packed up and headed for Montana. He is an author and lecturer. His books are "Modern Streamers for Trophy Trout" and "Spinners and Cripples". Kelly has been published by virtually every major magazine in the business and is Editor-at-Large for Fly Fisherman magazine. Kelly is also one of the hosts of Fly Fish TV on the Outdoor Life Network.
We've had a long lasting and great friendship with Kelly. He and our founder Brian Flechsig have been close friends for over 30 years now. Due to the popularity of the Slide Inn, Kelly has chosen only a few shops to work with in this capacity and we are honored to be one of them!
