I spent a few days in Bozeman Montana (11/1-11/4). Stayed at a lodge called Trout Chasers. I fished the Gallatin River 2 days and had a great time. It was my first trip to Montana and I cannot wait to go back. Allegiant flies to Bozeman and a few other Montana cities so you can get cheap flights. My first day out I caught 8 rainbows and 1 brown. I fly fished with an egg imitation and a purple prince nymph below that. Did not fish with a guide. Probably would have caught many more fish if I did. I am friends with the sister of the lodge owner so we stayed there for free. They gave me some advice before heading out on the river. Trout were nice sized and good fighters. Second day I went with my friend and caught 1 rainbow and 1 white fish. My friend caught 3 white fish. Great trip over all. Going back as soon as possible.
