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.  
We had an outstanding fishing experience with Chad Olsen of Greater Yellowstone Flyfishing Outfitters on the Missouri River, and I would highly recommend his services. First, Chad pivoted our original plans based on the Yellowstone flooding and helped us relocate to a new base in Craig. His knowledge of multiple rivers was a key to our successful trip. Over three days, he was patient based on our experience level and set up different floats on the river for changes of scenery. He was nimble in fly selection to ensure we continued to catch fish. I can't wait to return, and I will use GYFO again.

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.
