With over 100 miles of pristine trout fishing as well as unmatched beauty, the Yellowstone does not disappoint. During peak runoff, the river is usually considered un-fishable due to high flows and off-color water. Late spring, summer, and fall are when this river really shines for anglers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df022540ee1837474889ce0/1611781853716-G8RDXCZH36TLDG7BU4OT/Varney+Put+In_0842.jpg Waters We Fish The MADISON RIVER is world famous for a reason — with nearly 150 river miles from its origin to its confluence with the Gallatin and Jefferson to become the mighty Missouri, it is a true treasure of Montana. With floatable stretches from just below Hebgen Reservoir, all the way to Three Forks, it offers great angling — and being a “tailwater” (or dammed river), the Madison is fishable nearly all year and is a great option for when other freestone rivers may be off color or too cold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df022540ee1837474889ce0/1611781850679-VOAFSJKHPFTPL0U5BM1F/David+Riffle+Cast_0498.jpg Waters We Fish The GALLATIN RIVER starts in Yellowstone National Park and flows north, undammed, through Big Sky and Gallatin Canyon, where it continues to flow north and then west to its confluence with the Missouri. We fish the Gallatin from the town of Gateway to its confluence of the Missouri. Much of the Gallatin is designated wade fishing only, however its lower stretches offer great fishing from drift boats when the conditions are right. The scenic runs and riffles wind through some beautiful countryside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df022540ee1837474889ce0/1611781852378-NYX1JHW6MCZ6T5SBBIGO/Autumn+MT+Fishing_6959.jpg Waters We Fish The JEFFERSON RIVER begins where the Big Hole and Beaverhead rivers converge near Twin Bridges. From there, it continues to flow north until its confluence with the Missouri. The Jefferson is a seasonal fishery and is heavily dependent on flow and water temperature. Conditions allowing, the Jefferson can be a great option for floating with breathtaking views and wild Montana trout. This is also a wonderful river for wildlife viewing, such as bald and golden eagles, deer, moose, and occasionally otters or mink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df022540ee1837474889ce0/1611781853611-KKTUU88P1J795D2FIXAB/Fall+Fishing_6299.jpg Waters We Fish The MISSOURI RIVER begins near Three Forks and flows north through several reservoirs including Holter, where below its dam, the river becomes a world class trout fishery. From the dam all the way to Cascade, Montana, the Missouri has it all, with opportunities to chase large rainbows and browns on dries, streamers, and nymphs. However, these fish are a combination of smart and spunky, making them a challenge to bring to net. But the Missouri makes for a thrilling day for any angler. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df022540ee1837474889ce0/1611781852294-WPI3NV9E0LFWMRF6SWW6/Spring+Creek_1428.jpg Waters We Fish We are fortunate to be able to offer some PRIVATE WATER options for our clients who are looking for something a little different. These can be anything from small spring creeks to private stillwater lakes. These private waters can be a great option when other rivers are dirty or “blown out” or if you just want to get off the beaten path for a day. Typically, these private properties require a rod fee which can range anywhere from $20 - $150 or more, depending on the experience. https://www.sladesflyfishing.com/rates daily 0.75 2025-01-17 https://www.sladesflyfishing.com/faq daily 0.75 2021-02-01 https://www.sladesflyfishing.com/take-action daily 0.75 2025-05-09
