The Gallatin River
Fly fishing on the Gallatin River is a classic Montana stream experience, perfect for anglers seeking adventure in a stunning setting. A great, close to Bozeman option for the walk wade angler with easy access and breathtaking scenery, it’s an ideal destination for both beginners and seasoned fishermen alike. The Gallatin offers something for everyone, from dry fly enthusiasts to nymphing and streamer anglers all while walking in a scenic and diverse landscape. While most of our trips on the Gallatin are walk wade trips, certain parts of the year floating the Gallatin is an option, if water flows allow it.
Spring Creeks
Fly fishing Montana's spring creeks is a unique and rewarding challenge, offering some of the most technical and exciting trout fishing in the world. Renowned for their crystal-clear waters and consistent temperatures. These waters are famed for their abundant insect hatches, making them a paradise for dry fly anglers who enjoy matching the hatch with delicate presentations. The calm, glassy runs and slow-moving currents demand precision and patience. Experience the thrill of fooling trophy trout in a peaceful, scenic setting that only Montana's world-class spring creeks can provide.
The Yellowstone River
Fly fishing the Yellowstone River in Montana is a must for any angler seeking the thrill of big water and wild trout. As the longest free-flowing river in the Lower 48, the Yellowstone is legendary for its diverse fishing opportunities, from lively riffles to deep pools and sweeping runs. Home to healthy populations of brown, rainbow, and native Yellowstone cutthroat trout. Flowing through stunning landscapes, from dramatic canyons down to Paradise Valley then down to the wide-open spaces of Montana’s prairie, the Yellowstone River provides an unforgettable backdrop for a day on the water.
The Missouri River
Fly fishing the Missouri River in Montana is a world-class experience, renowned for its prolific hatches and dense trout population. Often called "the Mo," this river is famous for its large, wild rainbow and brown trout, offering some of the best tailwater fishing in the country. Dry fly fishing is a highlight here, and with the Missouri’s long runs, riffles, and gentle currents, it creates a perfect environment for sight fishing and long drifts. Surrounded by Montana’s sweeping plains and dramatic limestone cliffs, a day on the Missouri is both peaceful and exhilarating.
Because of the drive distance from Bozeman, we require a 2 day minimum on the Missouri.
For Missouri Trips we recommend staying near Craig, MT and our guides will meet you in Craig.
