Passionate anglers from around the world travel annually to the rivers of Southwest Montana to enjoy an amazing fishing experience. These rivers are known for their healthy fish populations, prolific hatches, and amazing scenery. Each river has their own unique character and season. We will put you on the best river in the region, at the right time, for the right angler, based on your fly fishing experience.

692 Miles of free flowing river coming out of Yellowstone park, fish the Yellowstone River deep inside the bowels of the Park, or float it through Paradise Valley and beyond. Always shifting, always spectacular, and this river will leave you mesmerized and transfixed on how rivers flow freely, their beauty, and the fishing opportunities it gifts us.

The Gallatin is a great half day or full day option located just 10 minutes from Bozeman and flows 100 miles to the Missouri R. Outstanding fishing on foot for feisty trout, with solitude and scenery to be found. Canyon scenery and deep pools closer to Big Sky, or meadow views and long riffle runs in the valley, the Gallatin has something for everyone.

This legendary tailwater fishery is an angling destination onto its self, and an adventure. Four hour drive from Bozeman, or meet us in Billings, we'll spend 3 days minimum there fishing, cabin lodging, and relaxing under eastern Montana skies. Take a morning to visit the Little BigHorn Battlefield National Monument, and fish in the afternoon is a great day also. Tremendous fish populations, and fun angling tactics make the BigHorn a joy and challenge always. This is a fun trip and a great way to experience Montana, call for details. We recommend this trip in March, April, and May. and then in the fall also!

The Jefferson has rebounded very nicely over the last few years with cooperative management between the ranching communities and anglers. Improved irrigation techniques, and restored stream and spawning grounds, have helped the Jefferson fish grow in size and numbers. Another fantastic fishery in the spring, pre-runoff, and later in fall with the cottonwood trees turning colors. Big Browns ply these waters for the diligent angler. Not always a numbers game, but a great place to hook up with a fish to remember! As always a view shed to stimulate your senses under the big sky!

These three tributaries to the Yellowstone River, offer unique windows of fishing depending on the time of the year. Pocket water, boulder garden, and fun whitewater fishing from a raft are on tap depending on the flows. Constant action and potential as these fish react quickly to the fast moving fly. After the snow melts and runoff has subsided these streams are at their prime. Float 'em or walk wade, these hidden gems of the Yellowstone drainage are worth checking out for a freestone fishing experience. Off the beaten path is often worth the extra effort. Fun and easy day trips from Bozeman or Livingston!

For the ultimate fishing challenge, expert or beginner, the private spring creeks on the Yellowstone are worth the extra cost. A visual sensory overload, spotting fish and casting, there is never a dull moment as you 'hunt' these fish with all your instincts. Depuy's Spring Creek, Nelson's Spring Creek, and Armstong's Spring Creek, each offer technical fishing opportunities, that reward and stimulate the soul. There is a fee per angler to play on these private waters, that is charged by the land owner.
