West Yellowstone is the perfect home for me because of its great location to fantastic year-round fly fishing—I can leave town in any direction and be headed toward an incredible trout fishing destination.

Surrounding areas include every size of river, from wadable freestones to larger tailwater rivers that can be drifted by a hard-sided boat or a raft. We also have exceptional small stream fishing. Including several creeks to hike to in the Custer Gallatin National Forest as well as inside Yellowstone National Park. Not to mention Hebgen Lake in Montana and Henry’s Lake in Idaho. Which offer access to stillwater fishing almost year-round!

A variety of opportunities provide the chance for everyone to experience the magic of a day on the water.

Fly fishing is for everyone

If you are just getting started, skilled fly fishing guides can teach you how to catch fish and introduce you to the local waters on guided trips. All the equipment and supplies you’ll need for your excursion can be rented from local fly shops and outfitters.
