Guided Fly Fishing Trips on the Yellowstone River, Montana
The Yellowstone River, Montana is our "home water" and one of the great fly fishing trout streams of the world. The Yellowstone is the longest undammed river in the lower 48 states, and there is excellent trout water from its tributaries high inside Yellowstone Park, downstream through Gardiner, the Paradise Valley, Livingston, and on to well below Big Timber, a stretch of nearly two hundred river miles. We float many different stretches of the prime water between Gardiner and Big Timber, depending on fly fishing conditions and water levels.
The Yellowstone is a big river varying in width from 75 to 300 feet. Only in low water can one wade across the river, so the best access is by drift boat. The most scenic portion of the Yellowstone is through "Paradise Valley" and this is also some of the very best fly fishing. The water closer to Livingston holds the most trout, where you will find a pleasant mix of browns, rainbows and our native cutthroats. Rocky Mountain whitefish are abundant, and provide plenty of action and fun on days when trout are tougher to catch. Although we use Mackenzie-style drift boats to float the river, we often stop to wade fish the better runs.
