Yellowstone Country Fly Fishing’s Montana fly fishing guides are based in Livingston, MT, right in the heart of Montana trout country. We offer a wide range of guided fly fishing trips for experts and beginners alike and strive to customize every trip.
Yellowstone River fishing trips are the core of our business, but our guides also run a huge range of other trips. These include float fishing trips on other rivers such as the Madison and Boulder, as well as off-the-beaten path wade fishing trips in Yellowstone National Park.
2026 full-day rates during our May through early October peak season are $680 per guide for one angler or $695 for two. Half-days are $575. One guide can handle one or two clients. Shoulder season (spring & late fall) and winter trips are cheaper. Multi-day packages vary in price depending on the details. Click for full details on rates, inclusions, and policies.
If you are planning to fish the great trout rivers around the Livingston region Walter is your man. And if you do, tell him Bud and Dave say thanks!
Also, we had bad weather/water conditions on the scheduled day but were able to reschedule for another day on our trip, which made us very happy!
Overall, great day on the river. Would definitely recommend booking with him.
The whole experience was excellent from start to finish and made for a very memorable day. I would definitely book another trip with Yellowstone Country Fly FIshing.

Private Water Trips
Private spring creeks and lakes provide easy access and uncrowded fishing for large trout, especially in the spring when other trips are often not at their best.

Meet Our Guides
We’ve got a small but mighty staff of grizzled, raccoon-eyed, hardcore guides who love their jobs. Some have been around the block more than a few times. Some are young guns. All are full-time guides during the core fishing season who are eager to put you on fish and improve your skills.
