Gallatin River Float or Wade Trips
The Gallatin River is easily accessed from Bozeman and is a remarkable Montana fly fishing destination throughout the year.
Experienced anglers are drawn to the lower river where some of the region's largest Brown Trout reside. The diverse water types in the Gallatin Valley present ideal learning stations for the new angler.
With over 23 years of experience as a Montana fly fishing outfitter on the Gallatin River, our recommendation is to float the Gallatin River between July and October.
