Bozeman Fly-Fishing | Day Trip for 1 or 2 Anglers
1-2 Guests
Description
BOZEMAN
The Bozeman, Montana region offers incredible access to a ridiculous amount of outdoor recreation opportunities, but what interests us most is the fishing.
With the Yellowstone River, Madison River and Gallatin Rivers right outside the doorstep of town and too many smaller waters and lakes to count, Bozeman truly is an angler's paradise. Throw in the proximity to Yellowstone National Park, Big Sky, and Paradise Valley and you've got a full agenda of fun on your hands. The Bozeman area fishing options offer a wide variety of options to meet the needs of new and experienced anglers, and they fish well throughout the year.
Bozeman has become the premiere destination in Montana for outdoor recreation in general, so if a day off from fishing to ski, hike, whitewater raft, horseback ride, or sightsee is on your agenda then this is your best option. The Bozeman airport generally has the best flight schedules as well, so it is the choice place to begin and end a Trout Tour.
Our greatest wealth of private access water is also in the Bozeman area, and utilizing this resource is a smart way for experienced anglers to get away from the summertime tourist crowds and find some solitude and fantastic fishing too.

Rules & Guidelines
WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE LIKE?
Weather can change by the half-hour in Montana, so come prepared for everything. Bring sunscreen and your raincoat no matter when you come. We have had snow in August and sunburns in November. Typical temperatures range from the 30's to 60's in April through June and September through November and 60's to 80's in July through August. The best advice we have is to check the forecast before you are coming and plan accordingly. We think the best way to beat the weather is with a good attitude while wearing the right gear. We've had some of our best fishing in the nastiest weather, and we've had some of our worst fishing in the even more nastiest weather!
WHAT CLOTHING SHOULD I BRING? DO I NEED POLARIZED GLASSES?
Polarized glasses are a must! As for clothing, think in layers. We have large temperature swings in montana, so it is always nice to be able to add or remover a layer when the temperature dictates. Fleece, polypro long underwear, and a raincoat are all essentials. A wide-brimmed hat is also important for sun protection and glare reduction.
Early and late season days can be cold, so breathable waders are essential, and in some instances neoprene can sure be nice. They can be either boot-foot or used with felt-soled wading boots. In the summer 80 and 90 degrees days are common and we are typically in the driftboat or raft most of the day, so waders are hot and uncomfortable. Therefore, we 'wet wade' in shorts or pants. Many manufactures make light-weight quick drying pants that are great for sun protection and dry quickly.
Check the forecast before you travel and prepare according - you might have to pack flipflops and t-shirts or ski hats and gloves, it just depends on the season and current conditions.
WHAT FLY ROD AND REEL OUTFIT SHOULD I BRING?
For driftboat and raft fishing we recommend a 5 weight or 6 weight, 9' long flyrod. In the fall we might also suggest a 7 weight for casting weighted streamers. For our secret creeks and spring creeks, you might want to bring that 3 weight you've been dying to cast. For fly lines, weight forward floating lines are the norm. Sinking lines are sometimes nice to have if we are fishing streamers, but not essential. Be sure to have plenty of backing on your reel!
WHAT ABOUT FLIES, FISHING LICENSES, AND OTHER EQUIPMENT?
Our all inclusive guided trips mean we provide the flies and tackle you will need for a successful day on the water. If you want to bring your own rods that is great, and your own flies even better, but your guide will be prepared for you to show up with no fishing gear.
If any other fly fishing gear is needed before getting out onto the water, we have many fine local flyshops that can take care of your needs. Waders often fall into this category as they are size specific and you want them to fit right, so renting a pair for your trip is often the best way to go.
A Montana fishing license is required by law on any water we may fish, and are available for purchase at our local flyshops, sporting goods stores and online. Montana fishing licenses are generally very affordable compared to other states, and license dollars go directly to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks to help manage our fisheries.

YOU DON'T HAVE A LODGE, RIGHT? SO, WHERE WILL I STAY?
Because we are typically fishing the same rivers at the same time year-after-year, we are dialed in on all the worthy lodging options in the locations we fish. Options run the entire spectrum from the budget minded motel to the high-end hosted lodge. We are happy to make reservations and arrangements for you, but you are always free to make your own lodging plans as well. Either way, we will be ready to pick you up at your accommodations and hit the river for a great day of Montana-style fly fishing.
