Our Territory

Fish the Source of Yellowstone's Winding Rivers

The Yellowstone Headwaters is the largest lake in our Yellowstone fly fishing territory. This lake is 20 miles long and 14 miles wide of unobstructed fishing heaven. If you're looking to get lost on a large body of water for a week at a time or to sail up from Montana to Wyoming, the Yellowstone Headwaters is a great place to start. 
You can easily spend days at a time sailing out to deeper water and in to shore in a relaxing, meditative way during your next Yellowstone fly fishing trip.  
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.

The Waters of the Yellowstone Headwater

Yellowstone lake is a massive trout fishery filled to the brim with trout, abundant hatches, and classic alpine charm. You can go trout fishing on the waters of Yellowstone lake for weeks or more at a time and never cast you line beside the same line of coast twice. Come explore the expansive Yellowstone lake with us today. 
The Yellowstone lake is flush with variety. On its waters you'll be alongside our guides fly fishing for cutthroats, Whitefish, red shiners, lake trout, and grayling to name just a few. 
As the Yellowstone river leaves Yellowstone Lake it becomes wide, lazy, and slow. Perfect for wade fishing, nyphming, float fishing, or any other kind of guided fly fishing trip. So feel free to pick your poison. We can even guide you from the Yellowstone Headwaters into anther one of our watersheds, the Yellowstone Canyons. Come fly fishing on the blue ribbon fisheries of the Yellowstone river with our fly fishing guides.
