Yellowstone Fly Fishing Co.

Yellowstone Fly Fishing Co. calls the Yellowstone River its home water and launches from Gardiner, Montana, at the park’s north entrance, which puts both the stretch inside Yellowstone National Park and the river below the boundary within reach of one day. Drift boat floats cover long stretches of river, while walk and wade days put people into the river itself and into smaller creeks where footwork matters more than distance. Rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout are the targets, and guides supply the gear for either format. The same company runs motorized lake boats on Yellowstone Lake and Lewis Lake, where a full day includes all gear, lunch, and beverages and lake trout enter the picture. Off season trips are booked when conditions allow, so the schedule is not limited to the summer months.
