Winter Fly Fishing Trips in Montana

Winter is not the ideal time to fish in our region. I'll say that right off the bat. Yellowstone Park's fishing season is closed from sunset on the first Sunday in November until sunrise the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend, and though the Montana general season is open, many streams and rivers are either frozen or otherwise so cold they're not good choices.

So what's a rabid fly angler supposed to do if he or she is visiting from November through March? Go fishing, of course. You just have to pick the right spots and use the right techniques. Let us help.

Please note that winter fishing will be very hard both technically and physically on beginning fly anglers and especially kids, regardless of how much experience the tykes have or how eager they are. We recommend beginners find something else to do at this time (though it's up to you what you can handle) and will not take clients under the age of twelve on any winter trips, regardless of their previous experience.
