Spend a full day fishing from the comfort of a motorized drift boat on Yellowstone’s iconic Lewis Lake. Guests can sight cast to rising trout, strip streamers through the depths, or work the water with a spin cast rod. Brown trout, cutthroat trout, and lake trout are commonly found, with a chance to catch trophy fish over 20 inches. Pickup is available from Jackson or Teton Village, or meeting at a convenient location for guests in outlying areas. Those staying inside Yellowstone National Park will meet at the Lewis Lake boat dock. The day begins with a scenic 1.5-hour drive through Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks to Lewis Lake, stopping for fishing licenses along the way if needed.
Lewis Lake consists of Lewis and Shoshone Lakes connected by a mile-long channel. Trips may include motoring on Lewis Lake, rowing up the channel, hiking further into Shoshone Lake, or wade fishing in the channel. Dry fly, streamer, and spin cast fishing are all possible. All native trout are released alive, while lake trout and occasionally brown trout may be kept. The trip includes a guide, necessary equipment, fly selection, rain ponchos, snacks, waters, and a picnic lunch. Guests should bring hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and weather-appropriate clothing for the day.

We had the best day fishing with our guide, Mike, of Yellowstone River Outfitters! I had a little experience fly fishing, but the other two in our group had zero experience. Mike was so great about teaching the basics, setting up our rods, and giving pointers throughout the day… and completely unphased when he had to untangle our lines or rescue a snagged fly for the tenth (or fifteenth) time. 😊 The Gardner River was low and warm so fishing was tough, but he kept us moving and changing our gear and strategy until everyone caught at least one fish. And seemed just as excited about our success as we were. We had the best time! I will definitely use YRO again next time I’m in Yellowstone.
This was my 2nd time fishing with Yellowstone River Outfitters and it will definitely not be the last. Spent 2 days with Buddy and Dave. First we waded the Lamar River catching 2 lb cut throat while dodging bison. The following day we floated the Yellowstone River. They had us on fish the entire time. Great guides and even better people. Their knowledge of the rivers and fly fishing was amazing. Highly recommend!
Buddy was the best fly fishing guide we could have asked for! We did a full day walk-wade guided trip. Buddy was patient in teaching the basics and adapted quickly to different levels of fishing in our group as the day went on. We was able to put us on fish and made the whole day a blast! Highly highly recommend to anyone who wants to catch fish while in Yellowstone! Will definitely book another trip!
Brogan and Buddy were excellent guides for our group of 4 women who had never fly fished. Brogan responded quickly when I reached out to set this up, which was immensely helpful when organizing a group trip. They were very knowledgeable, excellent teachers, and the best hype men we could have asked for! Despite being newbies, everyone in our group caught multiple fish on our half-day walk/wade trip in Yellowstone. If you’re debating between a half and full day tour, go for the full day or you’ll be left wanting more.
My dad took me out for my first fly fishing adventure for my 40th birthday. Buddy was our guide for one day of walk and wade and one day of float fishing on the Yellowstone River. Both were incredible! Buddy is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. I have never been fly fishing in my life and he made me feel like a regular. He knows exactly where and how to get on the fish. I would recommend to any age and any skill level!
