About Absaroka-Beartooth Outfitters

Trout fishing in Montana is renowned. The streams, lakes and rivers to which ABO has access are among the most prolific and beautiful in the state. Our fishing waters and hunting areas are remote and therefore pristine. All ABO accesses are inhabited by a very healthy, native cutthroat trout population. You’ll fish in our clear streams, high country lakes and the forks of Hellroaring Creek. After a day of casting flies into these crystalline waters, you’ll declare you are in fishing heaven.

Our camp, located 8 miles north of Yellowstone National Park in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, is only accessible by horseback. You will ride through some of the most scenic country in America. The wildlife is abundant and diverse, the meadows lush with wildflowers. Many of our guests enjoy this part of their adventure as much as the fishing. Our guides will escort you every step of the way. You will find them knowledgeable, skilled and accommodating. Your mission will be to catch fish, have fun and enjoy what is justifiably called “God’s country.” Those who just want to relax, read, backpack, bird watch, photograph or paint will prove just as satisfied as the angler.

In camp accommodations consist of comfortable, roomy, carpeted, wall tents with wood stoves, cots with foam pads, a hot shower, a roaring campfire and delicious hearty meals prepared by our camp cook, Pat.

We recommend a five-day fishing excursion (one day in on horseback, three days fishing and one day on horseback out) so that you receive the best experience possible. However, we are willing to accommodate a client’s wishes. You might wish to arrive a day or two early in order to float the Yellowstone, Gallatin, Jefferson or Madison Rivers.

Availability is very limited for these backcountry trips from July through August, so book your trip early!
