numbers of fish per mile, a diversity of species and breathtaking scenery this a river that is
unsurpassed, it's a true Blue Ribbon trout fishery.

originating in Wyoming and flowing through Yellowstone National Park, entering Montana at
Gardener and tumbling through Yankee Jim Canyon into the Paradise Valley were it's flanked
by the Absarokee Mts to the East and the Gallatin Mtns to the West this is hands down one
of the last true free flowing wild trout rivers left. With it's fabled Mother's Day Caddis

YELLOWSTONE RIVER

GALLATIN RIVER

The GALLRTIN RIVER another of Montana's rivers that gets it's start in Yellowstone
National Park. Flowing over seventy miles through canyons and farmlands, it host good

lower river sees less angling pressure and holds some big fish. Spring and after run-off till
irrigation takes it's toll. Then again in the fall as the water flows increase, are the times
for these big trout.
