About Big Sky Anglers
Big Sky Anglers occupies one of the most historic addresses in American fly fishing — the former Bud Lilly's Trout Shop at 39 Madison Avenue in downtown West Yellowstone. Owned and run by a group of career guides and industry veterans, the shop carries on a legacy that dates back to the golden age of Yellowstone-country angling while operating as a thoroughly modern outfitter.
The business spans retail, guiding, education and travel. The fly shop stocks premium rods, reels, lines and a wall of locally proven flies, while the guide service runs float and walk-and-wade trips across the Madison, Henry's Fork, Yellowstone Park waters and beyond. Big Sky Anglers is also known for its fly-fishing schools and clinics, its Golden Stone Inn lodging-and-angling packages, and hosted international trips to destinations such as Patagonia and Mexico for clients who want to travel with their home guides.
Blending deep respect for the town's fly-fishing heritage with sharp, current expertise, Big Sky Anglers has become one of West Yellowstone's most respected outfitters. The staff's guiding pedigree, teaching focus and genuine passion for the region's rivers make it a standout stop for anglers of every level.
