Known as one of the best wade fishing rivers in Montana, the Gallatin River is the closest larger river to Bozeman. It begins in Yellowstone National Park then winds its way through the Gallatin Canyon all the way to Three Forks where it meets up with the Jefferson and Madison rivers to form the Missouri River.
The Gallatin River is fishing well right now, especially further in the canyon towards Big Sky. If you're looking for some big dry fly eats, make sure to have some foam in your box. If you're planing to fish the Gallatin make sure to have some Terrestrials, Perdigons, Worms, and Leeches.
