Great Fly Fishing is Closer Than You Think

Just outside of our Montana fly fishing territory lies the Gallatin and Gardner Watershed. This watershed contains two wonderful stretches of water—the Gallatin and the Gardner. Both of these stretches are anglers' dreams. These slow currents, crystal clear water, and abundant hatches contain some of the best fishing in Montana.  
Over the years, I've taken many trips with Chad - mule packing, floating, and good ole road-tripping. I keep coming back because Chad is an incredible fishing guide and host. Not only does he reliably get you onto amazing fishing, but he also has the heart and generosity of spirit to share the amazing backcountry he loves and has explored his entire life. His itineraries are incredible. He's absolutely rock solid in the field, knows his stuff (well beyond fishing), and is a fun and engaging host. When Katie comes along, it's double the fun, and you're assured of amazing camp cooking and hospitality! I've fished and adventured around the world. Chad and his organization, Greater Yellowstone Fly Fishing Outfitters, are absolutely top-notch.

The Rivers of the Gallatin & Gardner Watershed

The Gardner river flows a little faster than the Gallatin so we often recommend floating its waters to our more adrenaline oriented fly fishing vacationers. Still, whether you're floating, wading, or nymphing you'll be able to snag rainbows, cutthroats and browns.
