My husband and I had a great time fishing with Gallatin River Guides, and our guide Connor! He had his work cut out for him as neither of us had ever been fly fishing! He was very personable, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We ended up landing 5 fish! We travel to Big Sky often and plan on fly fishing again with Gallatin River Guides and will for sure request Connor.

Reviews We've Reeled In Over The Years
The Gallatin crew hosted my friends and I for a guided trip in early mid-August in Big Sky. When I called to inquire about 14 guys getting a guided trip on the river, I thought I would be laughed off the phone. Especially since it was a week or two before the trip. But they could not have been more accommodating and easy to work with. Great pricing and the fact they loan you all the gear makes it a no brainer for folks looking to fly fish the Gallatin. I had never fly-fished before and even managed to catch a few, mostly thanks to our expert guide Carson.

Great morning on the river with Gallatin River Guides. Easy booking and they were able to accommodate relatively last minute. My guide Tommy was super personable and knowledgeable about fly fishing in general and the Gallatin River in particular. After a slow start we ended up with 5 fish on the half day. Highly recommend and will be booking with them again next time I'm in Big Sky.

Gallatin River Guides is a very professional and fun guide service! If you want to catch some fish definitely go give them a call! My dad and I caught 9 Rainbow trout in total. Our Guide James was really knowledgeable about the river and was very passionate about it. 100% would recommend to anyone who wants to have a great experience while staying in Montana! No experience is required.

Lindsay was fantastic! She's very passionate about fly fishing and took us to a gorgeous spot where my wife and I each caught about a 14" rainbow, in addition to a number of others! She's very professional and incredibly fun to be around. The guides at the building were very effective in sizing the two of us up with the right equipment, waders, and boots. A must-do for anybody visiting the Bozeman area!

It was our 6th and final day in Big Sky, Montana. Being from Texas and confident in bass fishing. I wanted to fish for trout, but never used a fly rod. So I went and bought a cheap spinning rig from Walmart in Bozeman. I wasn’t confident in how to set this rig up to catch trout. I went to Gallatin River Guides and asked for help. They welcomed me with open arms set my rig up with an indicator lead by a sinking fly and trailed by a nymph. He even gave me pointers on how to identify the best spots. I bought a couple more items and I was off. I caught 10 fish that day. 3 white fish and 7 trout! Thank you, to the gentlemen from San Antonio that help me out Sunday morning!!

What a wonderful day my husband Chuck and I had on our first fly fishing experience. GRG is a top notch organization. From booking the trip, to arriving/prepping and then meeting our guide, it couldn't have gone smoother. Our guide, Will, was patient in teaching us and was insistent in finding us a great place to fish without other distractions, Within 10 minutes, I caught a 18" rainbow trout! He instructed him while I reeled it in myself without having a clue as to what I was doing. Thank you GRGs and Will for making this the first of many future fly fishing trips!!
