The Yellowstone River draws fishermen and fisherwomen from around the world.  It is the largest, un-dammed and free-flowing river in the country.  Brown, cutthroat and rainbow trout all inhabit the Yellowstone, and the scenery alone is reason to explore the many miles of Yellowstone River Basin.  Rich and varied habitat provides excellent dry fly fishing, as well as sub-surface fishing.

The stretch of river that flows into Livingston is considered one of the best areas, and is further enhanced by the many feeder creeks.  More information about fishing the Yellowstone, and stream flows and regulations.  See our links page for fishing guides.
