FISHING & HUNTING
Located about ten minutes from the Property, the Yellowstone River is a well-documented and prized trout fishery enjoyed by anglers throughout the
world. During times when the Yellowstone is not fishable due to seasonal spring runoff, the Property provides easy access to the famous private spring
creeks in Paradise Valley.
The Yellowstone Region is renowned worldwide for its fly fishing, whether on high-mountain lakes and ponds, spring creeks or floating down the
Yellowstone River. One of the most scenic
areas of Montana, fishing for avid anglers is
exceptional. With a backdrop of snow-capped
peaks in every direction, the Yellowstone
River provides consistently changing eddies,
riffles and deep pockets to explore. Anglers
cast nymphs, dries or streamers in hopes
of landing a native Yellowstone cutthroat,
rainbow, brown trout or the prolific native
mountain whitefish. It is one of the seminal
experiences in fly fishing to catch the famous
‘Mother’s Day Caddis’ or salmon fly hatches
on the Yellowstone when they happen to
coincide with fishable water conditions in
early May and late June.
In addition to the untamed waters of the
Yellowstone River, there is a lifetime of
exceptional area waters to explore. The
Shields, Boulder, Stillwater, Gallatin and the
world-famous Paradise Valley spring creeks
are all just a short drive away. Armstrong’s,
DePuy’s and Nelson’s spring creeks offer
consistent water temperatures and constant
flows to create an ultimate breeding ground
for the aquatic insects on which trout thrive.
These spring creeks are full of educated trout that have challenged the most experienced anglers to go deep in their fly boxes for generations. Yellowstone
National Park is open seasonally to fishing and has a lifetime of fishing experiences within its borders on lakes and famous rivers like the Madison,
Firehole, Gibbon and Lamar. You would be hard pressed to find a base location that provides more exceptional fishing opportunities within an easy
day trip.
