For fishing, the area of the Gallatin River near The Trout Club is the most scenic and productive. Rainbow trout are the predominant species, ranging in size from 8 to 24 inches. Brown trout range up to five pounds. The Gallatin Canyon is relatively narrow, forested with lodgepole pine and Douglas fir. The conifer forest often reaches to the stream bank, providing a pleasant atmosphere in which to fish.
Chad told me not to show the big ones I caught because he didn't want everyone and his brother crowding us out from the best holes. You can reach Chad at Greater Yellowstone FlyFishers (below). |
He swore me to secrecy on this big brown, so please don't tell anyone that we actually were on the Yellowstone River in these two photos, and not the Gallatin where the fish are so big the Forest Service refuses to allow us to photograph them.

All the river scenes in "A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT" were filmed three miles upstream from The Trout Club. Our half mile river frontage on the Gallatin River looks just like the film, and the fishing is as good.
Many cold mountain streams feed the river in the Gallatin Canyon, adding to its allure. Big game animals such as elk, deer, moose and bighorn sheep use the immediate area. During certain times of the year they are visible to the angler.
Also visit the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Website. Check out the Gallatin National Forest Website. For any current forest fire information go to the Coordinating Center and to the Montana Forestry page. For general information about Montana. Some hotline numbers are 406-582-3175 and
