Jefferson River Fishing Trips
The Jefferson River is one of the larger rivers in Montana, located near Bozeman. It offers excellent fly fishing experiences for skilled anglers. While the trout populations are lower compared to other rivers like the Madison or Yellowstone, the angling pressure is far less as well.
Floating the Jefferson River during the early or late season offers solitude on the stretches between Whitehall and Headwaters State Park. Although the trout numbers are relatively low, every day on the river presents opportunities to catch trophy-sized Montana Trout.
With over two decades of experience in outfitting Jefferson River fishing trips, we only recommend these day trips to anglers with prior fly-fishing experience when the water conditions are ideal.
Consistently Fantastic Experiences
"This was my fourth summer to fish with Toby in the Bozeman area; in addition, I have fished on Missouri in May the past two years with Toby. Easy to describe Fin and Feathers - "One of the Best". Toby is one of the hardest working guides I have ever fished with; if you don't catch fish, it is not because Toby did not try..."
