Fly Fishing In Montana

It’s all about the river.  The Madison River stretches nearly 70 miles from the edge of Yellowstone National park through the Madison valley to merge with the Missouri River near Three Forks, Montana.    In this part of the world the rivers run north with magnificent wild trout fishing that is world class.  

The reason many of our guests at stay at The Jeffers Inn is the fact that we are located right in the heart of it all.  There are public fishing access points all along the Madison River, some within walking distance of the Inn.  With Fly shops and all the fun so close by, it’s easy to make the most of your vacation time.

Plenty of other waters are accessible for a day of fishing from The Jeffers Inn.  The Firehole, Yellowstone, Gallatin, Beaverhead, Jefferson, Big Hole and Ruby rivers are all within our “Golden Ring”.  Ennis, Hebgen and Quake lakes are also lake fishing supreme!!  Try Ennis mountain lakes, they will give you a thrill.  Fabled O’Dell Creek requires a reserve permit for a pure Montana fly fishing adventure.  Let us help you find just the right fishing guide … they are worth every penny you pay them.

Even if you have never cast a fly, the local outfitters and guides will give you an unforgettable day on the rivers.
