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.
I had a pack trip with Chad in the backcountry of Yellowstone a while back. First pack trip for me and also relatively new to fly fishing at the time. Excellent experience all around. Chad was great with teaching casting technique and we caught tons of Yellowstone Cutthroats. He also took a ton of pictures of my buddy and I the whole trip so we didn’t have to and could just focus on fishing, riding, and viewing the scenery and wildlife. Highly recommend it!

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.
