3. Boulder River/Meadow Section: A classic, meandering dry-fly stream, with easy wading and outstanding vistas on a very private ranch.
4. Boulder River Float: Depending on water flows, floating the Boulder can be a great choice. These floats take you through great pocket water, big rapids and deep pools. What a great way to experiance the Boulder valley!
5. Scenic Yellowstone/Boulder River Float : Enjoy this option with one, two, three or four of your friends and family. This trip is a relaxing journey down the Yellowstone River - where there is no better place to see the majesty of Big Sky country.
6. Private Lake Float Tubing: 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 are through senic 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 at the unique and scenic Thompson Ranch 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. It also can be fished from a comfortable raft with stops at 'hot' riffles and pools.
Whether you're an expert or neophyte flyfisher, 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.
