12 Guided Fly-Fishing Excursion

Located between Yellowstone & Glacier National Park lies the Ruby Valley of Montana. Known for its picturesque beauty, this trip will lead you on an experience amid 6 million acres of breathtaking scenery, an array of wildlife, and a fishing adventure you will not soon forget. Led by our veteran guide and El Dorado native Tristan Connell, you will have the opportunity to fly-fish along some of the most fabled rivers in Montana. Never fished before, not a problem – you will learn from one of the best! This adventure begins in Sheridan, Montana, located 1.5 hours west of Bozeman, where multiple blue-ribbon trout streams merge to form a mecca for fly fishing. Your trip includes two full days of guided fly fishing for two, a boat, lunch and beverages and the professional equipment needed to catch the fish of your dreams, and a $500 voucher for transportation and lodging. Participants will need to secure a Montana fishing license. Trip must be booked within 30 days of the auction to get on Tristan’s schedule for July-August 2023.
