Parks' Fly Shop is a fly shop and fly fishing guide service located in Gardiner, Montana, at Yellowstone Park's north entrance. Our no-frills fly shop carries everything visiting anglers need to enjoy fly fishing the Yellowstone region, including one of the largest selections of custom and local flies for the Yellowstone area of any Yellowstone fly shop, rental tackle, maps, bear spray, and fly tying materials.
Through our fly fishing guide service, we offer walk-wade and hike-in Yellowstone fly fishing trips in the northern and western portions of the park and drift boat and raft Montana fly fishing trips floating on the Yellowstone, Boulder, Madison, and other rivers in southwest Montana. We also run guided trips on several excellent private waters. We guide clients of all skill levels and can handle parties of up to 12 anglers, provided we have sufficient notice.
During the winter, we partially transform into a cross country ski and snowshoe shop, offering Yellowstone Park ski and snowshoe rentals, though we can always sell you the right flies or book you a guide for winter fishing trips in Montana.
