Introduction to Our Guide Service

        Parks' Fly Shop has been in the guiding business since the shop's inception in 1953, longer than most guides in the area have been alive.  Ours is a small operation focused almost exclusively on the area within fifty miles of our front door.  This narrow focus gives us an unparalleled knowledge of the rivers and lakes on which we guide. 

        We offer float trips, walk trips on public water, and walk trips on the famous Paradise Valley private spring creeks.  Half-day and full-day options are available for all trips, and we'd be pleased to help you plan a multi-day booking exploring the many options available.  We run our float trips exclusively on the blue ribbon Yellowstone River, usually between Gardiner and Livingston.  We run most of our walk trips on one or more of the many public streams and lakes inside Yellowstone National Park, and there are several options outside the Park for clients with specialized interests, as well.  We offer private water trips on all three Paradise Valley creeks, though different guides specialize in different creeks.

        In addition to our standard guide trips, we can put together custom programs for groups ranging from individuals to a dozen people.  These programs can range from half-day fly fishing schools for older children to week-long guiding/lodging packages in cooperation with the Gardner Guesthouse or other area lodging options for corporate groups.

        To book a trip, please call.  We take all reservations by hand over the phone, so there's no possibility of any sort of technological mixup resulting in a trip that somehow doesn't make it onto our calendar.
