Parks' Fly Shop: Fly shop and guide service in Gardiner, MT offering local flies, advice, and guided fly fishing trips and lessons in Yellowstone Park and Montana. Family-owned since 1953.

Welcome to the Parks' Fly Shop website. Our shop is 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 fifty miles of our door, we designed and/or tie around half the flies we stock, and our guide service is a local one, focused on fishing Yellowstone Park and nearby regions in Montana rather than fly fishing travel.

This knowledge is put on display on our How To Site. This sub-site includes as much information as many guidebooks, ranging from suggestions on clothes to pack to hatch charts to tackle suggestions to in-depth descriptions and fishing tips covering all important regional fisheries.

During the winter, we transform partially into "Parks' Ski Shop," and offer cross country ski and snowshoe rentals, as well as fly tackle suitable for winter fishing and fishing guides eager to get out in the cold with you, if you're so inclined.

We're well aware that our website is very text-heavy. We wanted to offer visitors to our site and our area as much information as we possibly could. There's a lot of information on almost every page, and we encourage visitors to read through it all and learn as much as they can. If you're the type of person who likes to dive into travel information, grab a cup of coffee and be ready to spend three or four hours going through our site, and please enjoy it!

Give us a call at (406) 848-7314 to set up a guided Montana or Yellowstone fishing trip or check on river conditions. You can also contact us via the e-mail links at the bottom of each page of our site. We look forward to introducing you to the great fly fishing Yellowstone and southwest Montana have to offer.
