Fly Fishing on Montana Waters: Rivers, Lakes and Local Creeks
We offer guided fly fishing on the finest Montana rivers, lakes and local creeks. That includes world class fishing on our private Spring Creek located on our ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana.
Come fish our Paradise Valley Spring Creeks: Nelson’s Spring Creek, Armstrong’s Spring Creek or Depuy’s Spring Creek. Each creek system supports healthy vegetation with many aquatic insects, which equate to superb trout habitat.
The Yellowstone River,the longest undammed river of the United States, offers over 150 miles of trout fishing opportunities for anglers. The species available to fish are rainbow trout, brown trout, cutthroat trout, and mountain whitefish.
Fishing in Yellowstone National Park isn’t just about the fishing. It also offers wildlife viewing and wade fishing. There are many fishing opportunities available from the geysers of the Fire Hole River to the beauty of the Lamar Valley.
Montana private water fishing trips with Nelson’s Guides and Flies are walk/wade trips on small streams on private ranches. The trips give anglers the opportunity to find seclusion and target fish that see limited pressure.
The Boulder River is a beautiful fly fishing river in Southern Montana and can be fished year round. The Boulder River is a walk/wade trip most of the year, but there are windows in the flows when the river can be floated in a raft.
The Madison River ranks as one of the top fly fishing waters in Montana. It starts in Yellowstone National Park and flows north to Three Forks Montana. Known as the 50 mile riffle, it’s dammed, and therefore is fishable most of the year.
There are numerous private lakes available for fly fishing around our area in Montana and all offer great sight fishing opportunities. The lakes are fished out of drift boats and offer opportunities to catch very large rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout.
The Bighorn River is a text book tail water. It consistently has one of the largest fish counts per mile in Montana. There are numerous insect hatches to fish through the year and many sight fishing opportunities available.
Questions?
I am so grateful that I got to fly fish at Nelson’s. I have fly fished all over the West for 30 years and this spring creek is truly amazing. Paradise Valley scenery is as good as it gets. I’ll cherish my photos for ever. Now my sister and her husband get to experience Nelson’s later in the summer. I’ll be back for sure and catch those beautiful Browns, Cutthroats, and Rainbows.
