CAST YOUR LINE, QUIET YOUR SOUL

The Spring can surprise you. During the Greater Yellowstone's period of rebirth, metabolisms increase and hatches begin. Swarms of mayfly, Baetis, and Caddis tempt hungry fish out of hiding—even older fish that you may not see in another season. You could catch your personal best this Spring. Ready to roll he dice?

The Summer will never disappoint. The Greater Yellowstone area experiences regular hatches and fish that are starting to become complacent. Better yet, if you fish streams inaccessible during the Spring, you could encounter fish that have forgotten hooks all together. Fish constantly bountiful streams and relax under the summer sun.

The Fall is underrated. Many people expect the rivers to be fished out during the fall, and they couldn't be more wrong. During the fall, fish will be gorging themselves on ever diminishing insect populations. That means your flies will begin to look more tempting than ever. Burn away your stress like morning fog under Autumn Sunbeams.

You will need the correct fishing license for the waters you are planning to fish on your guided fishing trip. Contact us with any questions about buying your fishing license for your guided fishing tour. Montana fishing licenses are available to purchase online from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.

More information about Wyoming fishing licenses is available online on the Wyoming Game & Fish Department website. Contact us with any questions about which license you should buy for your guided fishing trip.

State fishing licenses are neither valid nor required to fish Yellowstone National Park. Anglers 16 years of age or older must be in possession of a valid Yellowstone National Park fishing permit to fish in the park. We are happy to help with questions regarding fishing permits as you plan your guided tour.

Overnight floats trips with good company are the perfect getaway, no matter which river you choose to float. Fish sunup to sundown, or kick back and relax as you drift down calm sections of the river. Despite all efforts, clothing and items can get wet, sink, or lost on the river. Get more details on what to bring your Overnight Float fishing trip.

Wyoming's backcountry requires planning and preparation to have a safe and enjoyable fly fishing experience. As your guides, we will take care of the logistics. Pack trips that travel through Yellowstone National Park require reserving a campsite well in advance, and spots are limited. Interested in a fly fishing pack trip? Contact us well in advance and take a look at everything you need for your pack trip.

At GYFO we provide day float trips, day wade trips, and day private water fishing trips–each of which can require slightly different equipment for the most enjoyable time on the water. Contact us for a gear list for our other fly fishing trips, or find more information on our Fly Fishing Day Trips page. Download our gear list for a day-long float fishing trip below.

Leave the crowds behind and take a road less traveled on a Day Hiking and Fishing Trip. These day trips require a lighter gear list for a quicker trip.

Fish like a real cattle hand on their days off
