Fishing near West Yellowstone, MT


West Yellowstone sits at the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park in Gallatin County, Montana, and serves as the hub for one of the most celebrated fly-fishing regions on earth. Blue-ribbon trout streams run in nearly every direction — the Madison River flows right through town, and within a half-hour to an hour's drive anglers reach waters in three states and throughout Yellowstone National Park. Stillwater options like Hebgen Lake and Earthquake Lake round out a fishery that draws serious trout anglers from around the world.
