| Yellowstone Valley Ranch - Paradise Valley, Montana |
 |
It’s called Paradise Valley for a reason!
We are a highly personalized fly fishing lodge located in the Paradise Valley, Montana. We are committed to offering the best Montana fly fishing experience on the world famous waters of the Yellowstone, Madison, Boulder rivers and the spring creeks including Armstrong's, DePuy's, Milesnick's and Nelson's. We also have an incredible assortment of private waters to fish.
We challenge you to find a Montana fly fishing lodge that offers the variety and quality of waters offered by the Yellowstone Valley Ranch. It's hard to imagine a location more ideal for fly fishing than Livingston, Montana. In addition to the spectacular mountain vistas and natural beauty we are surrounded by the best trout fishing in the United States. Anglers visiting our area are often faced with the both enviable and somewhat intimidating choice of which waters to fish.
The Fly Fishing:
World-class spring creeks, secluded mountain ponds, small hidden freestones, the scenic, wild, un-damned Yellowstone River, and the famous waters of Yellowstone National Park. These waters include Armstrong's, DePuy's, Nelson's and Milesnick's spring creeks; Story's and Burn's lakes; Sixteen Mile Creek, numerous Yellowstone River tributaries and the West Boulder; Yellowstone, Madison, Boulder and Stillwater Rivers; Slough Creek, Soda Butte, Lamar, Firehole, upper Madison and Gibbon can be included in your Montana Sampler™ package.
We specialize in Montana private waters where fly fishing can be secluded and uncomplicated. We have the unmatched ability to tailor your Montana Sampler™ to experience the best fishing we have to offer. We constantly monitor fishing conditions to assure you the best Montana fly fishing opportunities available.
The Accommodations:
The Ranch is situated in Paradise Valley with an incredible view of the western edge of the Absaroka mountain range. From your cabin's private patio you look over the Yellowstone River in the shadow of Dexter Point (elevation 9,859 feet). The cabins are spacious with two queen beds, a sitting area, full bath, and private deck.
The Dining Experience:
You'll receive a wake-up call in the morning with coffee and before your days activities our chef will fuel you up with a hearty breakfast. Your guide for the day will pack your boxed lunch and you'll be off for another adventure.
After freshening up from your days activities you'll be welcomed to our Cutthroat Lounge with a well stocked bar, tempting appetizers and tall tales of that one that got away. The Lounge has plenty of space, but if you prefer to view the mountains during sunset our patio area is a comfortable place to watch the sunset. After appetizers we'll invite you into our dining area complete with a view of the mountains, exquisite artwork and a tempting bouquet of available entrees.
Our repeat clients often rave about the quality of our dining not to mention our bottomless cookie jar! If you have any dietary concerns please let us know as we'll be happy to accommodate your needs.
The Fly Shop:
The Ranch also has a modest fly shop complete with all those miscellaneous items that always seem to get misplaced between fishing trips. We also have waders and rods available to rent. While our fishing guides will supply you with all the necessary terminal tackle (leaders, tippet & flies) we also have variety on hand for special occasions. The shop is also a good place to purchase gifts, toiletries, or various sundries.
Other Activities:
After a hearty breakfast, your guide will meet you at your cabin door and set out for a different adventure every morning. Paradise Valley is framed by the towering 10,000 ft. peaks of the Absaroka and Gallatin ranges which are laced with wonderful hiking and riding trails. The biggest challenge is picking which adventure to experience first.
Some of our choices include horseback riding, whitewater rafting, hiking & biking wilderness trails, trap & sporting clays shooting and professionally guided tours of Yellowstone National Park. You may choose to take an afternoon to tour the many art galleries of Livingston and Bozeman followed by a wine-tasting and a massage on your private deck overlooking the Yellowstone River.
With the assortment of choices available, our guests will often decide to try a new experience each day during their stay.
