Missouri River
My favorite river to fish in the entire state is located in a town of 32 year round residents, has three fly shops, two watering holes and one restaurant. The Missouri river boasts the second largest population of trout in any river in the state(6k+ per mile) with the average size of trout being 16-17 inches.
Madison River
The Madison river is the best known river in the state of Montana. The words Montana and Madison river are as American as baseball and apple pie. More has been written about the Madison river than any other river in the state. The Madison river offers a variety of water for a variety of anglers.
Yellowstone River
The Yellowstone. A scenic beauty, majestic, stirring and rich in history. Starting in Wyoming, the Yellowstone River winds through the Paradise Valley in Southwestern Montana with the Absaroka Mountains as your backdrop. The Yellowstone River is one of Montana's largest rivers.
Gallatin River
Located right in Bozeman, Montana's back yard, this medium sized freestone river offers anglers of all experience levels ample fishing opportunities. Starting in Yellowstone National Park, the Gallatin River flows north for 120 miles until it meets up with the Madison and Jefferson rivers in Three Forks, Montana to make the headwaters of the Missouri river. The Gallatin River is well known for its numbers of wild rainbow and brown trout eager to eat dry flies and nymphs.
Other Waters
The rivers listed (Missouri, Madison, Yellowstone, and Gallatin) are some very well known rivers in the world of fly fishing. But we don’t limit ourselves to just those four rivers. The Bozeman area has an abundance of smaller waters and lesser known streams as well. Plus, we are also licensed for special permitted rivers such as the Big Hole and the Beaverhead Rivers. These additional rivers and streams allow us to have many different options for our clients to fly fish all over Southwestern Montana.
