What a great way to experience the Boulder valley!

6. Private Lake Fishing: April, May and June are ideal times to enjoy midge, damselfly, and callibaetis hatches on pastoral ranch ponds nestled against the Crazy Mountains.
7. Local Creeks: These are the first areas to clear up after spring runoff and can be a great choice for those looking for a unique type of fishing or for those that make their way to Big Timber Country when conditions are not favorable on the Boulder and Yellowstone unfishable. Access on local creeks is through scenic private ranches. 
A Customized Flyfishing Experience
While there are many appetizing rivers in the area, BTFF recommends the Yellowstone and Boulder for overall appeal. The Yellowstone is fished walk/wade or floated from a comfortable drift boat/raft, with stops at 'hot' riffles, pools and side channels. The Boulder is a wader's banquet of pocket water and undercut banks. For the largest portion of the season it is fished walk/wade. Seasonally, it can be fished from a comfortable raft with stops at 'hot' riffles and pools or by walk/wade. When the water is right, the float fishing can be fantastic!
Whether you're an expert or neophyte fly fisher, BTFF custom-tailors our services to accommodate your desires. Instruction if you a want or helpful but 'hands-off' guiding.
Even our stream side picnic feasts can be customized to special dietary needs.
