Flyfishing private water in Montana with The River's Edge Fly Shop
Floating down a wild western trout stream, standing in the front of a McKenzie style drift boat with an experienced Montana Fly Fishing guide at the helms, throwing reach casts with hopper patterns to the bank, waiting for a Yellowstone Cutthroat trout to come up and devour your fly. Sounds like the perfect scenario for your guided fly fishing trip to Montana. Each year we take hundreds of guided trips down the Madison or Yellowstone Rivers in search of this perfect day. For many, a guided float trip is the ultimate way to spend a day on the water. For a few others, the thought of standing in the stream, letting the water flow around you, casting to that one fish you can see but can’t seem to catch seem is even more enticing. For anglers such as this, At The River’s Edge we offer our private water guided trips.
Our private water trips can be categorized into two different types of fisheries. We offer spring creek trips which typically involve crystal clear water, consistent hatches, and sometimes challenging fishing conditions as well as our private access trips which get you onto private lands to fish both private and sometimes public water. Both trips offer limited access to waters that typically cannot be fished without permission. Usually, this comes with both a “per rod” fee as well as a limited number of anglers who can fish at any one time. Some offer more seclusion than others, but all of our private water trips offer a great experience.
Are private water trips only for experienced anglers? Absolutely not! By letting us know both your experience level as well as the type of day you are looking for, we can suggest private water options that will suite your needs. Some of our destinations are perfect for beginning anglers looking to experience a small secluded trout stream where the fish are very catchable while others are better suited to experienced anglers who may work hard to only catch a few fish using light leaders and small flies. Time of the year also plays a role in where we might send you as some fisheries are better mid-summer and others are better early and late. What ever your needs are, I am sure we can get you the experience you are looking for on private water.
