The Adventures
There are many experiences to be had with a fly rod in the Yellowstone Region. Here are a few photos that remind me that fly fishing is all about the adventures it takes us on.
Photos
I often look back in my camera roll and relive the many memories I have had on water. Its amazing much of the day I can remember and reminise by looking at just one photo. The photo section is a few of my favorite photos from each month of the year that I can go back to and remember that fishing trip. While I do not advertise myself as a photographer, it is not hard to take a couple shots out on the water and throw them into an editor to come out with a decent shot. I hope these photos get you excited for future fishing excursions or bring back memories of your own fishing adventures.

Native to many Greater Yellowstone Fisheries, Westslope cutthroat trout are one of the most fun trout species to fool with a fly. Their bright red belly and distinct spots are hard to miss, and they love to eat a dry fly. Westslope cutthroat trout are less abundant than they once were due to the presence

Rainbow Trout
The rainbow trout of the Greater Yellowstone Region are special. They grow to large sizes, inhabit many diverse fisheries, and give you a memorable fight on the fly rod.

Brown Trout
Anglers travel worldwide to catch the brown trout of the Greater Yellowstone Region. While not native, brown trout are high on many anglers’ lists for their aggressive behavior and the size that they grow to.
