Our destination is Part 2 of the Gallatin River with competition angler and guide, Brian Kimmel, Bozeman, Montana. Ever wonder what it was like to grow up in Montana before interstates and the fly-fishing boom? Brian spent his childhood in Billings living the sportsman’s life with his brother and his dad fishing the great rivers of SW Montana.
In this episode, you’ll hear stories of bears, the first felt-soled waders, Yvonne Chouinard, and parenting, Montana-style. Also, which Gallatin tributaries are best, how the Beaverhead and Jefferson are doing, and an update on the Yellowstone after the flood. Stick around to the very end for a rundown of the major hatches and Brian’s top fly picks for the Gallatin.
With host, Steve Haigh
