Drift Boat Trip Reviews

Without a doubt the best experience I have had fishing. Jake was our guide and was unbelievably knowledgeable on the river. He made fishing in a new place easy. The views alone on the Yellowstone river are awesome, but I can’t give Jake enough credit for his patience and how accommodating he was.

Honestly five stars isn’t enough, I can not say how amazing fishing and our guide was!  Thanks again Yellowstone fly fishing and thanks again Jake!

I am an inexperienced fly fisherman, and my husband is fairly experienced, and we both had the best day with Tucker! We caught TONS of fish. Tucker was a patient teacher and so much fun! We will definitely be fishing with Yellowstone Fly Fishing Company again next summer!

Such a great experience fishing with these guys. With the recent flooding, I didn’t think we were going to be able to do a fly fishing trip in Yellowstone. They kept in contact with us and made sure that we were able to have the best possible experience, and it was actually better than we expected! Our guides, Tucker and Johnny, knew exactly where we needed to be fishing and helped me catch my personal best fish, a 23 inch cutthroat trout!

My parents, who have never been fly fishing before, were also able to get into some fish. This just goes to show how experienced and supportive these guys are. If you want to go on the fly fishing trip of a lifetime, you should definitely go with Yellowstone Fly Fishing company!
