Yellowstone River Fly Fishing Trip

Wyoming Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout

5

A True Backcountry Experience

Our Yellowstone River Fly Fishing Packtrip is a true backcountry experience. It requires a little more effort, but we guarantee it’s worth it.

We set out on a long horseback ride to camp from Turpin Meadows near Moran, WY on the banks of the Buffalo Fork River between Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.

Your reward is the opportunity to fish truly remote waters filled with spawning Yellowstone Cutthroats emerging from Yellowstone Lake, and the thrill of spending time in the truly rugged wilderness with the potential of spotting elk and grizzly.

A Day in Camp

Morning & Afternoon

Mornings begin around 8:00 am, at which time your guides will already be catching, feeding, and saddling horses if needed for that day. We meet for a hearty breakfast; pack your lunch and discuss plans for the day. After breakfast, you and your guide ride up the trails on horseback for a full day of fly fishing. Guests can also choose to take a day to explore the area on foot or horseback, or just relax in camp.

Evening

Guides will have you back in camp at sunset, at which time the cook will have your meal prepared. Kick your boots off and tell stories of the day over a hearty supper in the dinner tent.
