Yellowstone Valley Lodge is conveniently located on the banks of the Yellowstone River in the heart of Paradise Valley between Yellowstone National Park and the small town of Livingston. The world renowned Yellowstone River is an obvious fishing venue from this location, but many smaller and lesser known public and private waters are within an easy day trip from the lodge as well.

Yellowstone River
This legendary river is best floated. It provides outstanding fishing from its headwaters in Yellowstone Park all the way to beyond Columbus. From Yellowstone Valley Lodge we can fish both the "Upper Yellowstone" from Yellowstone Park to the town of Livingston with a nice mic of rainbows, browns, and cutthroat trout, as well as the "Lower Yellowstone" from Livingston to Columbus where huge browns and big rainbows wait. A variety of hatches come off in the spring and early summer followed by outstanding terrestrial fishing with hoppers, ants and beetles in the late summer and early fall. Late season produces some huge pre spawn brown trout on streamers and big nymphs.

Boulder River
Below the 300 foot water fall at the Natural Bridge the Boulder enters big ranch country but doesn't loose its fast pocket water nature. Browns and rainbows dominate hear and dry fly fishing remains our favorite technique. Larger trout in the 16-18" range are common and fish over 20" are regularly caught on the lower floats near the Yellowstone. This water is often floated in the summer using our skilled guides and customized rafts with fishing frames, seats and anchor systems. 

Livingston Spring Creeks
For anglers that wan't to test their skill on some of the most prolific and technical waters in the world we can visit the famous spring creeks just north of the lodge including DePuy, Nelson and Armstrong. These wade fishing streams are born from underground springs and are infested with aquatic insects and other macroinvertebrates that result in an amazing density of trout. Hatches on the creeks are spectacular but expect to work hard to fool the often highly selective trout.

Yellowstone National Park
Less than an hour south of the lodge, Yellowstone Park offers abundant small stream dry fly fishing options throughout the summer and fall. These waters offer opportunity to build in some variety to your fishing itinerary and we often do a fair amount of hiking to target the less fished waters in the northeast corner of Yellowstone Park. This is a great location to target native Yellowstone Cutthroat trout.

Private Ranches - Montana Angler leases several ranches and has permission on a few others within an hour drive of the lodge that offer intimate and lightly pressured fishing opportunities on small but productive wading streams and a few trophy stillwaters.

Lodge
The Lodge is situated in Paradise Valley with an incredible view of the western edge of the Absaroka mountain range. From your cabin's semi-private patio you look over the Yellowstone River in the shadow of Dexter Point (elevation 9,859 feet). A variety of cabin options exist with different bed and room layouts. The cabins are duplex style with 2 guest rooms per cabin. Each cabin has a deck with a privacy divider between the adjoining cabin. The rooms are stand alone with private baths and private entries.

Cabins
Cozy Cabins
The standard Cozy Cabins are spacious with two queen beds, a sitting area, shower and separate vanity area, patio, and an ice chest ready to fill with your refreshments.

Bridger King Cabins
These cabins offer a King bed with a Queen pull out sleeper sofa, shower and separate vanity area, patio, and an ice chest ready to fill with your refreshments.

Deluxe Absorka Cabins
These newer deluxe cabins are larger and have two bedrooms (one with a King size bed and one with two twins), living area with pull out queen, kitchenette, flat screen TV's, WiFi, large private decks. They are great for 2 anglers wanting separate bedrooms or a family of up to 6.

Dining
Breakfast at the Yellowstone Valley Grill consists of a delicious made to order breakfast and your choice of coffee, tea, and juices. Lunches are always included on our full day fishing trip. Once you're ready for dinner you'll have the choice of dining "al fresco" on the beautiful patio (weather permitting) or in the dining area complete with a view of the river, mountains and our collection of local artwork. YVG offers a three course meal every night with several entree choices. The head chef starts with the freshest ingredients, with most produce coming from a local organic farm. He then employs his considerable culinary talent and creativity to serve memorable meals. Our repeat guests often comment that they have to come all the way to the Montana for the finest food they know.

Dining at YVL is a festive and casual event. If you like to dress up for dinner please do, but you are also welcome to come in right off the river. The Cutthroat Lounge opens at 5:30 and dinner can be served nightly from 5:30-9:30. Generally our guests dine between 7 and 8, however we make that decision according to your needs and the atmosphere that night.
