We're fortunate to call Southwest Montana our home. We are surrounded by dozens of some of the best trout fisheries in the world, and picking just one to fish on is nearly impossible.
For our Montana Guided Fly Fishing Trips, we've selected only the best to offer you, our client. Below you will find the rivers and other waters that we guide on.
Located within a short drive from either of our River's Edge locations, the Madison River is home to some of the best trout fishing found anywhere.
Divided into two very different stretches, the Upper and Lower, the Madison offers both floating and wading anglers great trout fishing opportunities in a unique scenic environment.
Although it is sometimes overshadowed by our bigger rivers, the Gallatin River is close to Bozeman and offers an angler peace, serenity, and a chance to fish a wild freestone river in an outstanding setting.
Yellowstone River Float trips are our most popular guided trip at The River's Edge. The Yellowstone River is the longest free flowing river in the continental United States, and it starts literally in our backyard.
If you're looking for more of a destination guide trip or want to explore some of Southwest Montana's incredible private Spring Creek fishing, we have options for you!
The Big Hole river located southwest of Butte, Montana offers some fantastic fly fishing for trout and one of the few places in the Lower 48 states to catch a Grayling, a Brown Trout and a Rainbow Trout all in the same day
Known as a classic Montana tailwater, the Missouri River below Holter dam is located 2 hours north of Bozeman and is one of the most prolific trout fisheries found anywhere.
Willow Creek
This small stream is located just 45 minutes from Bozeman and offers anglers outstanding small stream angling. Since it's a small tailwater, it provides great fishing opportunities even in the heat of summer. Located on a private ranch, the drive to the creek through the ranch property is often worth the whole trip. Wildlife and abundant fish make this a classic Montana small stream experience. Limit 5 anglers per day. Rod Fee - $40.00/Rod
Paradise Valley Spring Creeks
We offer guided fishing trips on three of the most famous spring creeks found anywhere. Depuy's Spring Creek, Armstrong's Spring Creek and Nelson's Spring Creek are all located just south of Livingston Montana in the majestic Paradise Valley along the banks of the Yellowstone River. Challenging fish, prolific hatches and consistent stream flows and water temperatures make all three of these creeks great year round options for the angler looking for the ultimate spring creek fishing experience. Recent stream restorations along with a very limited number of anglers make each of the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks a must for any serious spring creek aficionado looking for the ultimate challenge.All three creeks have limited rod availability, so advanced bookings are recommended. Rod fees vary
