The Top 2 Fly Fishing Tours in Bozeman

Bozeman is world renowned for fly fishing with the Gallatin, Madison, and Yellowstone Rivers all within easy reach. These waters are rich with trout, framed by big skies and mountain peaks that make every cast feel cinematic. Whether you're picking up a fly rod for the first time or chasing your personal best, there's a trip here that's perfectly tailored to your skill level.

Short on time? A half-day on the Gallatin River is your go-to. Just 30 minutes from downtown, it's perfect for beginners, families, or anyone looking for a relaxed pace with postcard views.

Want more time on the water? A full-day float on the Madison or Yellowstone delivers variety, bigger fish potential, and the chance to cover long, scenic stretches of river. Experienced anglers often choose this for the rhythm and range it offers.

Prefer solitude and really working that particular riffle? Our walk-and-wade trips are designed for more experienced anglers that want to skip the boat float and do some wade fishing. These trips lead you to small, less-pressured creeks where you can fish quietly amid the Montana wilderness, offering a different perspective of the fly fishing experience.

Our recommended guides are locals who possess an intimate knowledge of each river's quirks—when the hatches are hot, where the big browns hide, and which flies work best that week. Because we work directly with outfitters, you'll find trips here that aren't on big-name booking sites—customized experiences instead of one-size-fits-all tours.

From quick outings to all-day river adventures, Bozeman's fly fishing scene offers an incredible way to wet a line and fit a wide variety of styles and skill levels.
