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.
Chad Olsen of Greater Yellowstone Flyfishing Outfitters is a first-rate fly fishing outfitter. I've fished with him on the Missouri River in Craig, Montana, and plan to fish with him again when I return to Montana or Wyoming. He guided me, my son, my dad, and some other friends and relatives over several days on each trip. He's one of the best outfitters in the region based on his experience on the water and his ability to read local conditions and hatches. He has a gentle manner to him and is always friendly and encouraging. His beloved late chocolate lab, Ursa, was a welcome and fun addition to the trip. He's also an excellent photographer and took the time to take many photos and provide them to us after the trip. I highly recommend Chad wherever you may be fishing in Montana or Wyoming. He's the first person I plan to turn to when I return.Dan Burke

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.
