Season:

We operate our fly-fishing adventures mid-June through Labor Day, with the prime fishing time being July and August.

Species:

The primary species caught are cutthroat trout. There are also plenty of brook trout, along with some rainbow and brown trout. Expect to catch fish up to 20" in length and weighing up to four pounds. These fish are wild and always put up a good fight.

Region/Terrain:

Our excursions will take you high up in to Wyoming's Absaroka Mountain Range. The rivers are cold, clean and swift, with large pools. The Yellowstone and Thorofare Rivers are some of the most remote areas we offer to fish. Fish caught here are the Yellowstone native cutthroat. These trips run 6 to 10 days in duration, with the season being late June through mid-July. Bridger Lake is one of the most remote areas in the lower 48 states and offers incredible cutthroat trout fishing throughout the summer season.

The North and South Fork of the Shoshone and Greybull Rivers are more easily accessed, but still provide an epic and remote fishing experience. While the Greybull River is strictly cutthroat trout, the North and South Fork of the Shoshone hosts many species of trout. There are a few lakes available to fish on this trip. These trips run three to eight days in duration, with the season being mid-June through Labor Day.

The Buffalo Fork is a tributary of the Snake River and offers anglers a unique opportunity to test their skills on big water, all the way down to tiny streams. All trout species are available here, and there are also some incredible lakes to fish on this trip. These trips run five to 10 days in duration, with the season being mid-June through Labor Day.

We are excited to now offer beautiful fly-fishing and pack trips in Yellowstone National Park. Contact us for more information about these epic adventures!
