Guides for the Yellowstone
Calling All Fishing Guides & Outfitters!
If you’re here, chances are you just spent a good day on the water. Good casts. Cold current. Maybe a few fish.
That experience only exists because these rivers are still working the way they should.
And the river needs your help.
Why This Matters
Rivers like the Yellowstone – and others you may fish across Montana – are shared by everyone who depends on them. Anglers, boaters, landowners, wildlife, and local communities all use the same water.
Right now, that water is under real pressure. Increased use. Changing conditions. Damage from historic floods. These all threaten our ability to fish and enjoy the rivers in the future
If we want clean, cold, fishable rivers year after year, we have to act now.
The Yellowstone Needs Our Support
Montana Freshwater Partners is here to help bridge the gap between the impacts and the solution, turning urgency into action. Together, we can work together to protect the Yellowstone. Your river stewardship efforts will help MFP continue working to protect and restore freshwater with on-the-ground projects, including:
Riparian Restoration
to stabilize banks and keep sediment out of tributaries.
Keeping water clean and flowing
so rivers can support fish, wildlife, and recreation.
Replanting Native Vegetation
after historic flooding to protect water quality and fish habitat.
Working with multiple river users
to reduce conflict and keep access open for everyone
How You Can Help
You fish these rivers every day. You know them like the back of your hand and how important they are to your livelihoods—to your clients, and this place.
You don’t have to lead restoration projects or navigate landowner agreements—that’s our role.
You can help by standing with us as a guide-advocate for the Yellowstone River—sharing the story, supporting the work, and helping ensure these rivers stay wild and fishable for generations.
Stand with the river you depend on.
Give Back to the River
Your client’s donations helps fund critical restoration projects that protect fish like the ones you held in your hands today. So you can continue to catch their healthy offspring year after year.
Thank You for stepping up to care for this important place.
