He took the time to show me how to cast in the back alley and teach me the knots I needed to know. With Steve's excellent tutelage, I pulled my first fly-fished fish out of the Gibbon river, an 8-10" brown trout. By his request, I named the trout "Steve". It's a real pleasure to see a business with such integrity and expertise. (Note: this is an edited version of a "thank you" email I sent them for all their help and advice.)

My wife booked a guided fly fishing trip with North Fork Anglers. We showed up first thing in the…read moremorning at the store to check in and get our licenses. While we were there our guide showed up and introduced himself. He asked if we had any previous experience and talked about various locations, their conditions and where he thought we could go fish. Since our casting is far from professional and current conditions of the rivers were high and fast, we opted for a lake. We came with rods, waders, boots, snacks, but I left my reels in my truck at the store! Thank god , Brad (our guide had back ups! He got us all set up and we set out, talking about the conditions and what to expect. ( like rattlesnakes) what your step! It was a very educational experience, and we all caught some nice trout! If your in Cody and like to fly fish go see Brad, he'll make a better fly fisherman/woman.

Our family had such a wonderful time at Hawley mountain ranch. There was something for everyone at…read morethis beautiful 160 acre property. The horseback riding was wonderful. They offer relaxing rides to enjoy the breathtaking scenery from meadows down to the rivers, or more advanced rides to hells canyon where you can experience rocky terrain and steep inclines. They pair you with your horse for the week so you can really establish a bond. The fly fishing is great! They offer lessons for first timers in their pond which does not require a license or you can head down to the boulder river and enjoy some of the best fishing in the area (license required). They offer other activities such as a Jeep ride, river floating, campfire dinners, and games (volleyball, horseshoes, and roping). There is a hot tub to soak your worries away in your spare time and lots of places to sit to take the beautiful views in. You will not go hungry during your stay here! The food is homemade, fresh and prepared for cowboys and cowgirls! Enjoy meals such as steaks, pastas, potatoes, brisket, full chicken, fresh veggies, seafood, salmon (fresh!), burgers prepared over a campfire, full breakfast spread of pancakes, eggs, bacon, homemade breads, muffin and more. We brought snacks with us that we purchased in big timber and did not touch them once so leave those in big timber and bring your appetite as they do not disappoint! The best part of our stay was the staff. This is a family run operation and it shows by the level of service they provide. I haven't ever experienced something quite like this before. The level of passion, care and concern they have for each one of us was so amazing. They just want each guest to have the best time and live their life to the fullest for the week they are at their property. There are no TVs, radios, cell phones so this is a time to truly disconnect. You can choose to get a phone card which will work in the main lodge for emergencies. The staff for the summer of 2019 hit it out of the park which is why all but two of the families were repeat guests who keep coming year after year. We can't wait to return to Hawley mountain and can't speak highly enough about this magical piece of the world.

The horses were well cared for and surefooted on the mountain trails. Every ride was to a different location with AWESOME views. This was a week spent in "paradise".

had the good fortune to take three trips thru psrks fly shop this summer…read more First trip in late June was timed for the salmonfly hatch and did not dissapoint, caught lots of nice fish in vatrious species, brown trout, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and even a white fish, its still a fish and it takes a fly. The Guide, Rob, worked hard to put me on fish. Second trip also with Rob was a walk and wade trip into Yellowstone National Park. Caught lots of fish, all large cutthroat trout. Last trip was also a walk and wade in the Park with Ethan, The trip was in mid September and we faced very low water levels and had a hard time finding the fish, When we did find the fish we caught a number of very larg cutthroat trout in rapid succession until the last fish splashed its way accross the eddy we were fishing, spooking the rest of the fish down. on several cast we had multiple fish chashing the fly through the pool All of the staff were very enthusiastic, and very helpful with advice and are an excellent resource.

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!

Like this guide taught my youngest how to fly fish when he was little. We originally was going to go with Wild Trout Outfitters a few doors down but they were so rude that we left. We are so thankful we did. The staff is great, we love the guides, even the lunch they get is delicious. We cannot say enough about Gallatin River Guides!

Out party of three had no problem with the change. The guides were Royce (guide) Clayton (wrangler) and Kate (cook). I will say up front that they are the best. Very confident, knowledgeable and friendly. We had a medical issue come up with one of the other guest on day four that they handled expertly. This issue resulted in another change of route but again my party had no issues with the change.Kate needs special recognition as one fine trail cook. The meals she was able to prepare were excellent ranging from biscuits and gravy to eggs, bacon and potatoes for breakfast to the best steak I've had in my many visits to Cody to chili, spaghetti and pork loins for supper. She's the best. As for the actual ride itself, well all I can say is that I thought I'd be a lot more sore but in reality didn't feel bad once I was off the horse at the end of the day. Couple of notes, the altitude can play hell with your stamina if you're not acclimated, if you're shy about stripping down and bathing in a cold stream then bring lots of personal wipes. Make sure your sleeping bag is rated appropriately. I used a surplus Army two piece system that was perfect. Drink a lot of water throughout the day, don't wait til you're thirsty to hydrate. Trout fishing at the campsites was pretty good for those that fish. If you want a week long experience that will be the envy of your friends then you need to book this trip, remain flexible with any unforeseen changes and go enjoy the scenery.

From the moment we left the 2 male guides were perfect gentlemen, always willing to offer help with whatever we wanted or needed! Very thankful they brought their 2 dogs, as boldly they chased a grizzly off 2 nights!

The cook was female, very good and great company as we sat around camp one day swapping stories! They spoiled us and although we checked this off our bucket list, we would go again!

You want a guide who doesn't have time to update fishing reports, or his website -- because he's actually fishing. You want a guide who can explain knots, bugs and the history of the Bighorn -- sometimes all at once. That guide is Jeremy Gilbertson. 12 years we've fished together. Every time I learn something new. I book a year in advance. I suggest you do the same.

He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Bighorn: every season, every hatch, every spot, every time of day, any water level, any weather. He's a skilled fisherman and a great teacher. He'll put you on fish and help you catch them. Great guy, too. If you need additional guides for a bigger party, he will arrange them, and they'll be great. Jeremy's customer service is excellent. Once you're booked with him, there's literally nothing to worry about. Just show up, fish, and have a great time. I've lost count of how many trips I've taken with Jeremy...more than ten. I'm looking forward to many more.
