Yellowstone Fly Fishing Co.

The business is a guide service with a storefront address at 129 US Highway 89 South in Gardiner, Montana, the town at the park’s north gate and the last stop before the road climbs into Yellowstone. James Pappas owns it and holds Montana outfitter license 57793; Tucker Gosda, Jake Pappas, and Jonathan Canavan are among the guides on the roster. Waters worked reach well past the assigned river to the Madison, the Boulder, and the Stillwater, plus rivers, lakes, and creeks inside the park itself. Access to the private spring creeks in Paradise Valley, Armstrong and DePuy, is part of what the outfit sells, which gives it somewhere to go when the freestone rivers run high or off color.
