George F. Grant (September 18, 1906 – November 2, 2008)[1] was an American angler, author and conservationist from Butte, Montana.

Grant's nymphs imitated primarily large stoneflies such as the giant salmonfly (Pteronarcys californicus), which grows up to two inches in length.

[5] In 1967 Grant retired, lived summers on the Big Hole River, fished nearly every day, and began writing.

Grant also edited the newsletter River Rat for Montana Trout Unlimited, writing many of the articles himself.

While George is most noted for his fly tying and conservation efforts - one of his greatest contributions was supporting his sister, Marcella Pitts, and raising his nephew, Francis C. Johnson.

George, Marcella, Fran, and his younger brother Howie, lived on the Big Hole River near Dewey during the Depression.

Grant's contributions were recognized in a public television film documentary made by the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks titled Three Men, Three Rivers in 1988.
