{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Visiting Bozeman MT

Also, I just got back from Bozeman a week ago and your floating options are probably slim to none right now.  They've had a ridiculously warm end to winter/spring, so runoff has basically already started.  The Yellowstone was blown out, maybe only 1 foot of visibility.  I know they did get a cold snap when I left, but unfortunately you may not be able to float anywhere and have a productive day.

If I were you, I'd try to walk/wade the Madison.  It's about 90 minutes from Bozeman, but the drive is gorgeous and 150% worth it.  The rainbows are on the spawn right now, so fishing on the upper Madison has been NUTS.  My father and I were looking for a hot tub to loosen up our arms after a day on the Upper Madison 2 weeks ago.  Think shad season in prime time.

Furthering my prior post, I would 100% call Wild Trout Outfitters and book one of their guides.  If you can get Dave, then get him.  They'll know what is fishable, and will 100% put both you and your dad on fish.  

If you get Dave, tell him that Kevin and Connor from DC sent you.  Oh and also, he has a hat and a buff of mine - if you bring them back I'd be forever grateful!  God speed.

Hey all, I am traveling to Bozeman and Missoula to visit schools next week. Can anyone recommend some good guides out there? My dad who has not been fly fishing before is coming with me and I'm looking to do a float trip while I'm out there. Thanks!
