About Arrick's Fly Shop
Arrick's Fly Shop is a family-run fly shop and guide service at 37 Canyon Street in downtown West Yellowstone, founded by longtime local angler Arrick Swanson. Known for its friendly, unpretentious atmosphere and genuinely helpful staff, the shop has carved out a loyal following among visitors who want honest advice and quality gear without the hard sell.
The shop offers a well-curated selection of rods, reels, waders and a strong lineup of custom-tied flies, many designed for the specific waters around the park. Arrick's guides run float trips, instructional trips and walk-and-wade outings on the Madison, Henry's Fork, Gallatin and inside Yellowstone National Park, matching each trip to the client's experience and goals. The shop also produces how-to videos and blog content that help anglers sharpen their skills before they ever set foot in the river.
With a reputation built on approachable service, effective local flies and guides who genuinely love teaching, Arrick's has become a favourite for both newcomers and returning anglers. It rounds out West Yellowstone's remarkable concentration of world-class fly shops with a distinctly personal, community feel.
