Thank you Nolan, Dan and Angler's West for the amazing memories. We will definitely be back!

The guides I have had a pleasure of fishing with from Yellowstone Angler are all top notch, awesome…read morepeople that you can enjoy spending the whole day with. They are all very knowledgable about the local waters and insects and willing to teach you whatever you are willing to learn. If you go out with these guys you will be put in a position to catch some very nice sized trout if you are able to follow their directions. As I did my first fly fishing trip ever with a guide from here I can say from experience that they know how to teach and aid anyone from their first cast onward as they are also able to help hone the skills of more seasoned veterans. Highly recommend you get a guide from here if you are fishing in the area and want to set yourself up for some great catches and memories. The shop itself is also very cool and has a lot of great merch and lots of friendly folks around who are easy to strike up a conversation with and get some insight into how the river is fishing and what bugs they are getting hits with. TL,DR: Yellowstone Angler is an awesome store with great, guides. Book one with confidence knowing you are in good hands. Tight lines!

We opted for the full day (6 hour) private ride. Experiencing Yellowstone National Park on horseback was EPIC! If you're the adventurous type and are not afraid of heights, I suggest you advise them. The sights you see when you leave your fears behind are absolutely breathtaking. The beauty of the park was awe-inspiring, the fresh air was much needed and getting relatively close to wild life in their environment was spectacular. Our guide's name was Mike and he was awesome! We learned so much. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. We can't wait to come back and visit again. Side Note: I do suggest you find a bathroom before meeting your guide. You're riding straight into the park where only nature exits. If you think you'll need to answer natures call, take paper and a ziplock bag. Take at least one layer of clothing (even on a hot day) and use sunscreen. Stay hydrated and ENJOY!

After having saved for over 5 years, reviewing the reviews, hunt was booked. Communication was…read morefair prior to hunt with no notification of where to meet. Camp was good, cook and food was great. Not much communication from Phillip and all decisions of where, when to hunt were made by Phillip. Guide was good, but appeared to be limited by orders from Phillip as morning hunts were from before sunrise and ended no later than 11:00 am, evening hunts were from 2:15 pm to sunset. Saw several groups of elk almost daily. Guide appeared to be more content driving gator around with some walking/hiking to try to locate elk. A large hurd was located on the second full day of the hunt in the evening on another ranch not leased by LWGS. Phillip was notified of the large hurd that was located while glassing by not only the Guide but also myself. Finally on the fourth full day of the hunt the entire hurd was located on the leased property, at guide was instructed to leave the hurd and take us to another part of the property, words relayed to us were "going to leave them so we dont blow them out off of the property." Phillip, who was with a hunter who has hunted with LWGS multiple times, paid for his son this trip, ended up with the son taking a bull that was in the area. Father/son were nice people and father had been on several trips with LWGS including a bow hunt this year and an out of country hunt. Tuesday morning another hunter harvested a bull on a different part of the lease. Both were nice guys, very personable, the second hunter also knows Phillip quite well and had been to MT with LWGS multiple times this year to include a personal trip arranged for Phillip and his wife in MT. Phillip advised, as the web site states, 5 hunters, we started off with 6 one had to leave for a problem back home. It was clear that two of the hunters had been using LWGS for years, had been on multiple hunts with Phillip/Josh, hunting assignments were discussed privately or quietly regarding where each guide was to take the hunters. When we asked if we could stay in the field all day to increase our chances, we were told no. On Wednesday morning I stayed with my guide and my relative went with Josh and the last remaining client went with Phillip. We went to a location we had been to multiple times over the last few days. After glassing for a while, I located one hurd to the SW, which I had also located two days prior. I also located another hurd to the NW. My guide said he didn't see anything, I pointed out the two hurds closest one was approximately 15 elk two 6x6, 3 rag horn, 3 spikes and some cows. My guide advised Phillip of the hurd and they were headed towards a location on the LWGS and that we were going to head that direction. While in the gator we came around a corner and I observed them alert to the noise of the gator and seeing it but also observing it from approx.1200 yards. My guide asked me if I was up for a hike to try to cut them off, and I advised definitely. My guide called Phillip, I believe, then I was advised we were headed to another location no where near where the elk were moving in. It became apparent that there was to be no elk harvested at that time and that my guide was not only having to check in, couldn't make direct decisions and was being instructed on what/where to go and do. What was to be most likely a once in a lifetime hunt for a chance to harvest at least a rag horn or larger, had turned out to be a hunt that appeared to specifically cater to wealthy friends. Having hunted elk and deer for the last 41 years and harvesting many. Knowing there are no guarantees with hunting is one thing, however, limiting the actions of the guide as to where to go and what to do sure gave the appearance for the desired outcome, this coupled with the definite commerodery with friends who have returned and plan to return time and time again, gave the appearance and effect of our one time deal being insignificant. I was charged the "out of state" $ 50 fee when I have been a resident of MT for 34 years and LWSG was advised of. It was not only the control of our guide, but also the overall manner/secrecy and blatant difference in how the wealthy "regulars" were taken care of compared to the one timers. It could have been that I was honest about my career, my son's employment, which sparked a conversation. One thing is for certain, there was a definite difference in how we were handled and how the friends were handled. Really a disappointing experience on several levels. But there was a consolation prize, a deer call made by Phillips newly acquired company, thus the trip was not a total loss as we got a $9k deer call.
