Livingston Montana Fly Fishing

The Yellowstone River is the main attraction for anglers fly fishing in Montana near the town of Livingston. Located just 30 minutes east of Bozeman, this historic railroad town is a great place to base from during a fly fishing vacation in Montana.

The spring creeks of Paradise Valley are just south of town and always high on the list for the dry fly angler. The Boulder and Shields Rivers are nearby early summer hot spots. Join us for a day or multi-day Montana fly fishing trip when you stay in Livingston.

Dillon Montana Fly Fishing

Step back in time and experience an authentic Montana fly fishing vacation on a multi-day excursion in the Dillon area. The Beaverhead, Big Hole, and Jefferson Rivers each offer unique fly fishing opportunities and are within easy reach of town.

Unique fly fishing itineraries over various lengths of stay are available, inclusive of lodging or without. We recommend these trips for experienced anglers in June, July, or September as early season conditions are unpredictable and August fishing on the Big Hole and Jefferson is limited to the morning hours, most years.

Ennis Montana Fly Fishing

Located about an hour south of Bozeman, Ennis is a small ranching community located on the banks of the world-renowned Madison River. Ennis Lake and rivers like the Jefferson, Ruby, Beaverhead, and Big Hole are all within a reasonable drive from town if exploration is your goal.

If you want to be close to the Madison River, you can't go wrong with a stay in the Ennis area. The guides meet our guests in town and then head out in whichever directions seem best for the day. Some trips focus on fly fishing the Madison every day, while other itineraries include more variety - it's up to you!

Ft. Smith Montana Fly Fishing

Located about 2 hours south of Billings, Montana, on the Crow Indian reservation is one of the most heralded wild trout tailwater fisheries in the northern Rockies. The Bighorn River is home to around 30 miles of incredibly productive water for anglers of all skill levels.

Stay in Ft. Smith and fish with our guides during the prime summer season on the Bighorn River between June and October. These excursions are well suited to experienced anglers who don't mind fishing in crowds and are up to a mix of angling techniques including hatch-matching dry fly sessions and boat nymphing.

Missoula Montana Fly Fishing

Early and late season fly fishing in Montana near Missoula focuses on dry and streamer fly fishing. Our fly fishing trips to rivers like the Bitterroot, Blackfoot, and Clark Fork are geared towards experienced anglers who are up for exploring the wild freestone rivers of western Montana.

Anglers fishing with our guides on these itineraries can expect to cover a lot of miles - both on the water and in the truck - as we look to escape the crowds and get off the beaten path. Fishing out of rafts is the standard during the late season and we tend to stick to the upper Blackfoot, middle Bitterroot, and lower Clark Fork.
