Matt & Sarah Cornette
Matt: World-Class Culinary Experience Meets Fly-Fishing Expertise
Matt's culinary journey began on the East Coast, mastering family cooking traditions from Italy and France. After earning a business degree, the kitchen beckoned – he honed his craft in Jackson and Missoula, embracing farm-to-table cuisine at renowned eateries. Yet, Montana's rivers had their own allure. Matt transitioned to become an executive chef at a guest ranch and an experienced fly-fishing guide throughout the state and Chile. He's not just a talented chef – Matt's banjo skills have been showcased in a renowned bluegrass band across North America. Together with his wife Sarah, their passion for adventure has taken them around the globe, always with a fly rod in hand.
Now, Sarah’s attention to details and Matt's culinary knowledge blends well with their fly fishing experience to provide our guests with a first class hospitality team at The Complete Fly Fisher.
Sarah: A Spirit of Adventure
From the Gulf Coast to the mountains of Montana, Sarah Cornette's passion for exploring waterways has defined her life. After falling in love with Montana's wild beauty, she became a seasoned guide on iconic rivers like the Middle Fork and Main Salmon. Inspired by her travels throughout Central and South America, she earned degrees in Spanish and Education, sharing her love of language with students. But the call of the river was strong – she balanced teaching with guiding fly fishing trips and managing a guest ranch on the legendary Blackfoot. Even winters took her south, managing an island estate in Patagonia. Now, Sarah brings her adventurous spirit, diverse skills, and warm hospitality to The Complete Fly Fisher, ensuring your Montana adventure is truly unforgettable.
