Guided Fly Fishing Day Trips

Guided fly-fishing trips in the Bozeman area are offered year-round to anglers of all skill levels by the professional Montana fly-fishing guides at Fins & Feathers. These full day fly-fishing excursions include float trips on local rivers such as the Madison, Yellowstone, Gallatin, and Jefferson rivers - each of which is easily accessed from Bozeman with less than an hour's drive each way. Our central location enables our guests to experience a wide range of fisheries throughout Southwest Montana with more flexibility when conditions change from one watershed to the next. We accommodate specific requests for our guests that have a preference to one fishery over another, but most trip destinations are chosen the day of the trip based on weather and water conditions.

Half-Day Guide Trip Options

Half-day guided fly-fishing trips on the lower Madison River are available September-October and April-June. In-season (July-August) reservations are available when we have last minute availability and conditions are appropriate. The river is only 20 minutes from Bozeman and is a great choice for anglers with limited availability. These 4-hour outings are ideal for families with small children or inexperienced fly anglers looking for a quick introduction to the sport. Our Bozeman fly-fishing guides typically float the river in the late spring and early fall with wade-oriented trips preferred during the winter months.

Pricing of $600 includes use of gear, drinks, flies, and terminal tackle for group sizes of 1-2 anglers. Half-day guided fly-fishing trip reservations can be placed online with a minimal deposit (see policy) required to secure the booking when made 10 days in advance.
