The Southwest Montana watershed is tightly packed with six incredible rivers that you can explore with a guided Montana fly fishing trip.
Fish the Beaverhead, the Jefferson, the Clarks Fork, the Madison, the Red Rock, and the Big Horn. Don't count this smaller watershed out, the variety of fly fishing available here is staggering. So, even if you don't currently have a grail river, you're sure to find water you won't be able to resist returning to year after year in Southwest 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. Sue K.

The Rivers of the Southwest Montana Watershed
The Gallatin is a classic wide, winding body of water that's perfect for the beginning fly fisher. Together, we can put together a Gallatin river fly fishing package towade fishing or float fish to our hearts content.
When your guided fly fishingvacation party isn't catching anything, we can soak in Yellowstone's rolling hill sides. You'll mainly be fishing for rainbows ad browns on the waters of the Gallatin.
The Jefferson River is an amazing stretch of river that begins in Twin Bridges, MT and stays relatively unbothered throughout the year by other anglers.
Jefferson River fishing in Montana is accessible year round and predominantly stocks for Rainbows. If you're looking for a local favorite fly fishing vacation area, or a quiet fishing get away, look no further.
The Madison river is popular among locals and offers a great chance for first time anglers to experience Yellowstone's ecosystem during a fly fishing vacation.
Really, the Madison is a great option for anglers just looking to have some fun. Fish for rainbows and browns on these waters during a guided fly fishing tour.
