we have access to some private, spring-fed lakes in close proximity to Livingston, mt. these lakes have big fish and the views are amazing. often, the dry-fly bite on can be great. who doesn't like catching a big trout on a small dry-fly? Also, anglers looking to expand their knowledge of fly fishing to a different arena from the river find these trips to be very rewarding. these lakes require rod fees and have limited availability. A day spent out on the lake is a great way to start or end a multi-day adventure. May, june, october, and november are great times to fish our lakes. we fish these trophy lakes from drift boats, so anglers have access to the entire fishery.
We have a handful of lakes we have access to. WE don’t like to list their names (they are “secluded!”), so if you are interested please reach out. Most of these trips meet in Emigrant, MT. We offer both FULL DAY and half day Secluded Lake Trips. The rod fees range from 100-150 dollars/person. These rod fees go directly to the property owner and secure your spot for the day.
May and June are the most popular times to fish our lakes because the Yellowstone River is often high and muddy due to our Spring Runoff. Lake fishing is a great way to fish from a boat when floating the Yellowstone is not an option. Many folks like to book one day of float fishing the lakes and one day of walk-wading in Yellowstone to get the full Montana Springtime EXPERIENCE!
