Fly Fishing

Yellowstone Mountain Guides Fly Fishing

Yellowstone National Park and its surrounding areas are home to numerous blue ribbon trout streams and Lakes. Whether you are an experienced angler or hoping for your first catch, we provide guide services in the back country and front country trout streams and Lakes that will consistently offer great fishing. Yellowstone National Park offers premier dry fly-fishing as well as many opportunities to sink nymphs and streamers. We offer this guide service in camping pack trips and single day ride form, as these Backcountry Lakes and streams are best accessed by saddlehorse. We also offer Guided walk and wade Montana River trips along with float trips.

One of the unique aspects of our Yellowstone outfitting experience is our combination of backcountry horseback travel and fly fishing guide service. We have a solid traditional background with Wilderness Saddle Horse and Pack Mule Camping and Day Trips. But we also have years of experience fishing most every part of the Greater Yellowstone region. We enjoy spending time with you on the water or relaxing in our Tented fishing Camps.

Check out some of the options available below or call us directly to set up a custom trip.
