Madison River Summer Fly Fishing Trips
Fly fishing the Madison River during the summer is one of the classic Montana fly fishing trips every angler needs to experience.

November 2018 Bozeman, MT Fly Fishing Forecast
What happened to Fall? Seems like Winter arrived early in Bozeman, Montana this year. The snow is already starting to stack up in the mountains, skies are getting grey, and the forecast is calling for high temperatures in the mid 30’s to low 40’s. The warming huts on DePuy’s Spring Creek are fired up daily. Just about perfect for November fly fishing. I’ve heard it said before that there is nothing worse than a sunny day in November and April for fly fishing. Sure it may be comfortable, but bright skies will often mean little or no hatches and poor streamer fishing. We’ll take the cold and grey any day.
Yellowtone River Fall Fly Fishing Trips
Fall is a special time of year for Montana fly fishing trips on the Yellowstone River. Lower flows, clear water, happy trout, and lower angling pressure make for some of the best fly fishing of the year. Our Yellowstone River fly fishing guides particularly like this time of the year for the diversity of fly fishing options. You can fish dry flies, nymphs, and streamers and can expect to be successful anyway you choose.

Montana Fly Fishing USGS River Flows
Our Bozeman, Montana fly fishing guides are constantly checking the USGS flow gauges on our blue ribbon rivers to know where flows are optimal for the best fly fishing in Montana. This information is especially important on our freestone rivers like the Yellowstone River, Gallatin River, and Boulder River where a even a small rain event can blow the whole river. On our tailwater rivers like the Missouri River and Bighorn River this information lets us know how to rig rods before we even hit the road.
