The Trip


Fishing - Will be float trips on the Madison and Jefferson with professional fly fishing guides from the Slide Inn. This time of year we can expect good streamer fishing early and late in the day, good to excellent hopper fishing in the afternoons, misc. smaller dry flies and excellent caddis fishing. After the day of fishing it is certainly possible to skip dinner and go fishing! Wednesday will be a "day off" and will allow you to explore some of the incredible features of the area. Most popular is a tourist visit to Yellowstone and we will be happy to help plan your day. Kelly and Brian will also be happy to help if you want to fish in the Park and/or behind the lodge on the Madison.

Tackle - Simple, just bring your big Trout stuff! A full listing of our recommendations will be provided but basically you need to have a 5wt or a 6wt rod with a floating fly line. Those interested in streamer stuff may want to have some of Kelly's type lines. Other than that you need to bring your waders, vest, glasses etc. Flies can be your own, purchased from MRO, Slide Inn or from the guides out on the water. Between MRO and Slide Inn we have you covered!

Meals - Please note that many of the restaurants in the Valley have closed so we will be doing our best as far as food goes. Will probably be a combination of Brian cooking at the lodge and whatever restaurants we can find available at the time. The past few years, we have done dinner at the lodge on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday and going out to Ennis or closer on Tuesday and Friday. Wednesday is of course on your own. Breakfast will be on your own in your room and best to pick up some supplies on the way. Lunch is provided by the guides on the water.

• 6 Nights lodging in Slide Inn Cabins
• All inclusive evening meals (except Wednesday, your off day) and lunches on the boats
• Fully guided fishing with our trip host and Kelly's Slide Inn guides.

Not Included in the trips:
