The Trout House and Guest Cabin are at the epicenter of some of the most
exciting trout waters found in the Rockies. We welcome guests to
enjoy casting over wild Brown, Rainbow and Cutthroat trout in our
diamond clear Rivers and Streams. From here you can range out on
daily adventures to fish the Yellowstone River, the lower 48's only
major untamed river, where double digit Brown Trout lurk. To get
a shot at these larger river brutes Spring and Fall are your best
bets. Bring your 7 and 8 wts and a bunch of cone head streamers in
tan and yellow tied to 0X tippets. Late June and early July coincides
with the arrival of the giant salmon fly hatch when FlyFishers bang
the banks of the Yellowstone with #2 drys targeting gulping trout.
If you enjoy fishing in solitude the many smaller mountain tributary
streams hold large populations of wild trout, and are a short drive
from The Trout House and Guest Cabin. Just bring your 3 wt. and a
load of para adams and royal wulffs in sizes 12 and 14.
The world renowned Armstrong, De Puy and Nelson's Spring Creeks offer
sight casting to larger than average selective trout that appear
to be suspended in air, due to the spring water's clarity. These
unique streams are on private ranches, are catch and release FlyFishing
only, have rod fees, and require reservations. The Spring Creeks
have predictable hatches of sulphur duns and PMDs. The rod of choice
here is a 9 ft. 4 wt. and the flys are small 18s and 20s, tied to
7X tippets for drys and 6X tippets for nymphs. The Spring Creeks
are a 25 minute drive down the valley.
A 30 minute drive south along the Yellowstone River takes you into
Yellowstone National Park and its fabled trout waters. The Gardner
River, Lamar River, Soda Butte and Slough Creeks, to mention a few,
have predictable hatches and the mid-summer hopper action along their
grassy banks demands a 5 wt. rod and a box full of foam hoppers,
beatles and ant patterns. The wild and native Yellowstone Cutthroat
is your target in these waters, where you will be fishing in some
of the most breathtaking scenery in America.
Our guests also enjoy stepping out the back door to test the pristine
waters of Six Mile Creek. We welcome guests to try their skills on
Shiloh's Pond for large beautifully colored native Cutthroats, catch
and release please.
Chip's 60 years of worldwide FlyFishing experience in both salt and
freshwater and decades of teaching the art and nuances of the sport
have developed into a genuine passion for all things flyfishing.
Chip enjoys chatting about his favorite waters, fly patterns, suitable
tackle and effective techniques so you can better enjoy the legendary
FlyFishing Montana's fabled Rivers and Streams have to offer.
