Fish Your Grail River
Book an Adventure
Our Territory

A tight knit cradle of excellent fisheries

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.  
I have been guided on ten trout fishing trips with Greater Yellowstone Flyfishing Outfitters. Each was a special fishing experience. Chad Olsen and his team of guides are unparalleled in their fishing expertise in the WY and MT Yellowstone region.

It was clear that the GYFO guides were not only well-versed in the art of fly fishing but also deeply passionate about it. They were eager to share their wealth of knowledge, patiently explaining the intricacies of the sport and offering invaluable tips and tricks.

What sets Greater Yellowstone Flyfishing Outfitters apart is their commitment to providing a holistic experience. It's not just about the fishing - it's about immersing oneself in nature's beauty, appreciating the water's tranquility, and experiencing the thrill of the catch. The guides were incredibly attentive, ensuring every trip aspect was enjoyable and memorable.

In conclusion, if you're looking for an unforgettable trout fishing experience, I cannot recommend Chad Olsen and Greater Yellowstone Flyfishing Outfitters highly enough. Their expertise, passion, and commitment to providing a top-notch experience make them the ideal choice for novice and experienced anglers.

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 to wade fishing or float fish to our hearts content. 

When your guided fly fishing vacation 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.
