Fly Fishing the Gallatin and Madison

The Gallatin and Madison rivers are two of the best blue-ribbon trout streams in the country, and both are a short drive from Bozeman. Expect rainbow and brown trout, classic dry-fly water, and outfitters in town who can set you up with a guide, gear, or a drift boat trip for the day.

Whether you've fished for years or never held a rod, it's an easy half or full day trip and one of the best ways to spend time on Montana water.
