trout fishing. The Homestead is located in the middle of the Yellowstone’s best fishing; it is close enough to Paradise Valley that the Spring Creeks are a short drive but far enough away that the crowds generally do not fish the lodge stretch of river. In addition to the Yellowstone River and the Spring Creeks, you can also fish the Boulder River, the Stillwater River, and an endless array of lakes and small streams. These rivers provide exceptional dry fly fishing, as well nymph fishing and streamer fishing. During your week, you will fish each of these rivers, and we can tailor your itinerary to reflect your specific fishing interests. </font></p><p><font size="2" face="Verdana">Probably the most important aspect of any trip to fly-fish Montana is the timing of your trip. Hatches and water levels vary from year to year. This is where our local knowledge and our connections with the best guides will help steer you toward the best combination. For informational purposes only the seasons in Montana can be divided into pre snow runoff, snow runoff, summer and winter. The length of the runoff in Montana varies with the amount of snowpack in each drainage and of course from year to year depending on spring temperatures and a host of other variables.</font></p><p><font size="2" face="Verdana">We will analyze the water and weather conditions in the area to be fished and make a decision best suited to your interests. Most flyfishermen are leery of visiting in the spring due to the unpredictable nature of the weather. Those do visit will have some of the greatest fishing of the year. As a result, we offer a Spring Creek Package on the Paradise Valley creeks that focus on some of the greatest hatches of the year!</font></p><p><font size="2" face="Verdana"><b>Best Times to Go <br />Pre snow runoff</b><br />(March 1 – May 20)<br />Abundant midge, caddis and baetis hatches can make this one of the most productive fishing times of the year. While the weather can vary dramatically, the fishing is consistent and uncrowded. We will analyze the water and weather conditions in the area to be fished and make a decision best suited to your interests. </font></p><p><font size="2" face="Verdana"><b>Snow runoff</b><br />(May 20 – July 15)<br />Freestone rivers are in full flood during this time of year. Some mountain streams remain clear, but higher flows generally mean less productive fishing. The salmon fly hatch in late June and early July can mean some great dry fly opportunities. </font></p><p><font size="2" face="Verdana"><b>Summer</b><br />(July 20 – November 15)<br />This is probably the most popular time to fly-fish Montana. Terrestrials are out in force. Expect good afternoon fishing on hoppers, ants, crickets and beetles. These patterns are excellent to fish. They require very little effort on the part of the angler. The trout will hit these patterns viciously. This season offers some of Montana's finest fishing. </font></p><p><font size="2" face="Verdana"><b>Winter </b><br />(November 15 – March 1)<br />Fishing is still good in the winter and is a nice way to break up a ski vacation. Winter days are often warm enough to fish comfortably in the afternoons. Nymph and streamer fishing is good all winter long. By February, midge hatches begin and the fishing can be great. No crowds make it one of the nicest times of the year. The spring creeks fish great this time of the year and most are offered at off season rates. </font></p><p><font face="Verdana" size="2">If you are interested Fly Fishing in Montana, please contact
