Full Contact Info at Bottom
Welcome to the Parks' Fly Shop Website. We are located in Gardiner, Montana, within sight of the Yellowstone River and a quarter-mile from the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park. All the prime water within the Park, the blue-ribbon portion of the Yellowstone River, and many great private lakes and spring creeks are located within an easy drive, making us the most centrally-located fly shop and outfitter in the region.
The rivers and lakes of the Yellowstone region have been our obsessions and the guiding forces behind our business since 1953. We stock only flies & gear useful within 50 miles of our door, we designed and/or tie around half the flies we stock, and our guide service is a local one, focused only on Yellowstone National Park and the Yellowstone River system outside the park, rather than on fly fishing Montana as a whole. Our tight focus gives us unparalleled knowledge of local fisheries.
Give us a call to set up a guided Montana or Yellowstone fishing trip or check on river conditions. We look forward to introducing you to the great fly fishing Yellowstone and southwest Montana offer.
Navigating Our Site
Use the bar above for main navigation. The About Us link takes you to a group of pages covering shop history, our products, conservation efforts, staff bios, and information on our winter season ski/snowshoe rentals. The Custom Flies and Guide Service links are self-explanatory. The How-To section includes fly tying videos, podcasts, and the Trip Planner, which provides more free information on fishing the Yellowstone region than many guidebooks.
The links in the left bar take you to our fishing report, Walter's blog, and other pages that may be of immediate interest. These links will open as pop-ups.
Spring private lake fishing is in full swing! This fish (and about twenty others that weren't as big) was caught April 26. Full-day guided trip rates start at $350 plus access fees.

Fishing Report updated today. Mother's Day caddis are now hatching in their strongest numbers of the spring! With excellent clarity and streamflow, and relatively moderate temperatures forecast for the next few days, there should be excellent Mother's Day caddis fishing for as much as a week to ten days, with a few blips of runoff slacking things for a day or two. See the report for details.
Season Fishing Forecast updated today. Recent cool and wet weather has helped our snowpack somewhat and delayed runoff, which will help late summer streamflows. Details on our News Page.
