The Waters We Fish
Let Our Guides Show You To The Best Fly Fishing Spots In Montana
Big Sky & Southwestern Montana Fly Fishing Waters
Located on the banks of the Gallatin River right next to Big Sky and Yellowstone Park, our full-service, fly fishing tours can show you the greatest places to fish in Montana.
From our location, we can take you and your crew to some of the region’s prime fly fishing rivers and creeks including rivers like the Madison, Yellowstone, Firehole, and many more.
These waters are our home and we fish and guide people just like you through them regularly. We love Montana and its rivers so we like to share them with our clients and friends.
Our guides can also bring you on road trips to a variety of Montana's waters, such as the Missouri River, the Bighorn River, and the Beaverhead River.

Gallatin River
Beginning as a trickle in Yellowstone National Park, rolling through some of the most beautiful high-country in Montana, the Gallatin River flows right by our fly shop. The freestone nature of the Gallatin River provides some of the most gorgeous canyon views in Montana.
Madison River
If ever a river defined a state, the Madison could do Montana justice. The sheer length of the Madison's fishable waters is over a hundred miles. The diversity of water on the Madison is an appropriate analogy to the massive abundance of trout water found in Montana. With-in an hour of our shop the Madison hits the top our go-to list!
Yellowstone River
The Yellowstone is over 200 feet wide in most parts and it boasts the state's longest length of high-quality trout water-nearly 120 miles of prime fly fishing. The Yellowstone River begins in Yellowstone National Park, flows through Paradise Valley and the river is banked by cottonwoods and back-dropped by four distinct mountain ranges.
Missouri River
The Missouri begins where the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers all converge a few miles north of Three Forks, Montana. When fly anglers speak of the Missouri in Montana, they are referring to the 40-miles of water downstream of Holter Dam. These 40-miles offer some of the best fly fishing for large trout in Montana and in the world.
Yellowstone National Park
The Park's fishing season doesn't open until late May, but it's worth the wait. The Firehole, Gibbon, and Madison Rivers all fish well from opening day well into July. After July our focus is on the waters in the northeast corner of the Park. Famous rivers like the Lamar, Slough Creek, Soda Butte Creek, and the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone.
Paradise Valley Spring Creeks
The three Paradise Valley Spring Creeks are an annual favorite of local and traveling anglers and offer challenging fishing in one of the most beautiful valleys in Montana. The creeks are on private ranches that require rod fees for a day of fishing. Rates vary by season, with summer rates being the highest.
