Campers meet in Four Corners Monday through Friday at 8:45 a.m. so we can load up the van and hit the road by 9 a.m. After a short drive to one of the area's world-class trout fisheries, we will spend the day on the water, fishing, learning, exploring, and having fun before returning to Four Corners for pickup at 4:30 p.m. Each day, campers will explore a different section of the river. This progression will help campers catch lots of fish while they build their skills in preparation for the Friday float fishing trip on the Madison or Yellowstone River. With three campers per boat, they will take turns putting all they've learned to use on what could be the greatest day of day camp ever (we may not be able to verify that claim, but we are pretty sure that anyone who fly fishes would agree).
Sorry, parents, kids only.

Monday
Back to Basics
Work with your guides to learn new skills or perfect old ones as we catch our first fish of the week on the Gallatin River.
Tuesday
Yellowstone National Park Day
Yellowstone is full of great fishing. Some of our favorites are the lesser-known smaller streams loaded with eager trout. Bring some shoes you can walk and get wet in as we spend the day exploring some of our favorite small Gallatin tributaries.
Wednesday
Big River Fun
We will spend the morning learning to safely wade and fish on the lower section of the Madison River. When temps start to climb we will break out the tubes for a little afternoon cool down.
Thursday
Big Fish Time
The Upper Madison is famous for big fish, but they don’t come easy. After sampling some of the aquatic insects during a fun entomology lesson and learning about conservation as we test water quality in the Madison River watershed, we will practice some more advanced nymphing techniques on the upper Madison.
Friday
Float Fish Day
With three campers per raft, we will take turns fishing as we float down the Madison or Yellowstone River.
