Montana Trout Fishing

The Fishing | Rivers We Fish | Private Water | Montana Fly Fishing Guides

MatsonFishingLiterally hundreds of miles of trout filled water is within an easy drive from our base in Bozeman, MT. Each of Southwest Montana's rivers has a different personality, from pristine freestones like the Yellowstone River to serene tailwaters like the Missouri. There are a multitude of smaller rivers and privately accessed spring creeks and lakes in the region as well. Several options can be combined for the ultimate multi-day experience.

While there are opportunities year-round, most trips are scheduled between April and early November. People often ask when is the best time to come to experience Montana trout fishing at it's finest. It's a hard question to answer.  One could say you should come and fish any time you can get here because our fishing can be great all season. Mid-June through September is what most anglers consider the "prime time". But, If you are more adventuresome and enjoy fewer people on the water, fishing during the prerunoff early spring of late March through early May, or perhaps trying later in the fall -October and even early November, you might get some of the best fishing of the year! Our rivers and spring creeks often provide both solitude and incredible fishing during these times.

Anglers Week

Week of August 10: Time to consider that there's a hint of fall already on some mornings lately...Think now for late summer fishing and it's not too early to see that this fall is really going to be awesome.  River conditions are the best they have been in years.  August continues to be one of the best we've seen in a long time.  Hoppers are everywhere right now and are increasingly on the trout's menu du jour.  See our FISHING REPORT  Looking to spend a day on the water?  We'd be happy to help you take care of all your fly fishing and guided needs at our Emigrant location right on the Yellowstone River.  Bring the whole family, visit Yellowstone National Park before school starts (or after for you empty nesters!)  and experience some of the best fishing in the Western US right here in Paradise!
