Put Your Winter Blues on Ice

Half & Full Day Winter Fishing Trips

Some of the best fishing in Montana happens during the off-season. Our winter half and full day trips give you access to the gorgeous Yellowstone, Gallatin, or Madison Rivers—without the crowds. Bundle up, learn from our experienced guides, then return home with warm memories that last a lifetime. Available for 1-3 people (per angler). Wading and boating trips are weather dependent.
