Boulder River Fly Fishing | Montana Angler Fly Fishing

The Boulder River is one of the most beautiful fly fishing rivers in Montana. It originates in the Absorka
Beartooth Wilderness just north of Yellowstone Park. The aquarium like water is absolutely loaded with very
willing rainbows and browns. We focus our trips on the lower portion of the Boulder river where it flows through
almost 100% private land making access to wading anglers very difficult.

The Boulder is too rough for drift boats and there are no boat ramps so very few of the regions outfitters and
guides are able to fish this treasure. Montana Angler Fly Fishing is one of the few fly fishing guide services in
Montana that has a fleet of white water rafts equipped with fishing frames that enable our guides to access this
amazing fishery.

The Boulder usually drops to fishable water levels sometime between mid June and mid July. Once the river
comes into shape, we have about a five or six week window of opportunity to do our floats before it becomes
too low.

Fishing on the Boulder ranges from good to spectacular. The fish never see enough flies to become too
educated and we are able to fish large attractor dries through most of the fishable window. Watching large trout
submarine up from the depths in this clear water to eat your fly is truly one of the greatest thrills in the sport of fly
fishing!
