Grossenbacher Guides - Homewaters



Home Waters Jenny and I have guided flyfishing trips in Southwest Montana for the past 14 years. We have logged several thousand guide days on our local waters. Our core guide staff has just over a century of guiding experience in Southwest, Montana. We're not old...we just like our jobs. During that time we have developed a certain comfort level with the waters we call home. Let us share our experience with you on your next Montana flyfishing vacation.


Yellowstone River Breathtaking vistas greet you at every bend, and the dry fly opportunities will keep you on edge. Punctuated by rushing riffles, long flowing runs and inviting pools, the Yellowstone is best fished from our Mackenzie style driftboats. With over 80 miles of outstanding trout water, some anglers make a vacation of the Yellowstone River alone.

Madison River The Upper Madison is known as the "The 50 Mile Riffle," for good reason. If you stop casting to enjoy the scenery, you'll miss forty feet of great water. Seams, pockets, and nervous water will leave you weak in the knees after a full day of rapid-fire casting. The Lower Madison has some of the highest fish counts in the state! Take one of the best caddis hatches around; add fantastic streamer fishing and you have heart-pounding results. If you are looking for big fish, this is your best opportunity in southwest Montana.

Gallatin River Great scenery, gin clear pocket water and lively rainbows. The Gallatin is a terrific wading river for beginners or experts alike.

Armstrong's and DePuy's Spring Creeks Are you a dry fly aficionado? If so, the nutrient rich waters of these spring creeks are for you. Matching the hatch takes on new meaning with multiple hatches occurring simultaneously, and picky fish that will send you deep into your lucky fly box. Add to that that these creeks are located at the base of the rugged Absaroka Mountain range in the heart of the Paradise Valley, and you have the recipe for an annual fishing tradition.
