TRIP DETAILS + INFORMATION
We are heading to the mountains of Montana for an unforgettable retreat of Montana fly fishing! On this trip you’ll be on the home waters of the Yellowstone River, Madison River and Gallatin Rivers near Bozeman, Montana – where there is consistent wild trout fishery in the Rocky Mountain West! The Missouri River is thriving with rainbow trout and brown trout. While fishing for these beautiful fish you will be immersed in the peaceful Montana mountains. These rivers are a drift boat float river with opportunistic wade fishing along the way.
We will begin on a drift boat down the river and pursue the ‘walk and wade’ method when applicable – the guides will walk us through this every step of the way! You do not need previous fly fishing experience to join us on this trip! The fishing portion of this trip includes 1 full day of fly fishing (8 hours guided fishing on the river each day), tackle, flies, lunch, drinks, and lodging. This trip does not include your Montana fishing licenses and guide gratuities. After our day of learning fly fishing techniques and wading down the crystal clear waters of the river we will head back to our Airbnb in Bozeman for a night of dinner and relaxation. We can cook on our own or head into Bozeman to explore some of the local eats and drinks!
The next day we will head towards the one and only Yellowstone National Park for two days of hiking and exploration! We will be staying in a private cabin in Island Park, ID for two nights. Our cabin has a hot tub so be sure to bring your swimsuits! We will talk more specifics of our time hiking and exploring in this area as the trip comes closer. Here are some of the sites we plan to see:
Old Faithful Geyser/Upper Basin
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
Hayden Valley
Mammoth Hot Springs
Yellowstone Lake
Norris Geyser Basin
Lamar Valley
Tower Fall
Lower Geyser Basin
West Thumb Geyser Basin
