Fly fishing in the area is world class and there are access points all along the Yellowstone River between Gardiner and Livingston. There are a number of fly shops and guides throughout the valley. We recommend Angler’s West in Emigrant, MT White Water Rafting on the Yellowstone is fun for your entire family.
