Can't decide between Montana and Wyoming? Fish The Lamar
The Lamar Watershed is a wonderful, blue-ribbon fishery filled section of the Yellowstone wilderness that straddles the border between Montana and Wyoming. The Lamar offers water of all kinds, from local getaways to remote locations that only the most experienced Yellowstone trout fishers try to conquer. Can't decide on the adventure you need?

Our fly fishing group has used Chad Olsen and GYFO for the past ten years and have never been disappointed. He instructs without being overbearing, knows the rivers of Montana and Wyoming well, and consistently puts our group on fish. His knowledge of each river is extensive and often finds fish when other nearby outfitters are watching in awe. His ability to teach fly fishing techniques and fundamentals during the fishing day has made us all better fishermen. His sense of humor and his gentle reminders to "center up" on the boat and to "set the hook" (!!) make for a fun day on the water. He's by far the best guide/outfitter I've used in over 30 years of fly fishing. Our group of 6-10 fly fishermen have used him exclusively for the last ten years when we venture out of Colorado! Any day on the river is good -- but a day with Chad makes it exceptional!! He's more than a fishing guide to us -- he's become a good friend as well!

The Rivers of the Lamar Watershed
The Lamar is mercurial, you need a specialized Lamar river fishing guide to really tease the most from your time on its waters.
Schools tend to move up and down the banks on the hunt for food and shelter, making catching each trout even more satisfying. Due the Lamar rivers difficulty, we recommend this batch of Yellowstone's fly fishing runs only for more advanced anglers. Fly fish the Lamar River for canny cutthroats, rainbows, and cutbows.
Soda Butte Creek fishing is all about fishing this vibrant tributary of the Lamar River for rainbows, cutthroats, and cutbows. This fishery is very close to the highway, making it perfect for day trips, beginners, and more experienced anglers. Soda Butte Creek fishes well with regular hatches from July-September. If you're looking to get away on a fly fishing vacation like a local, Soda Butte Creek is where you need to go.
