Join us on Montana’s Madison River at Kelly Galloup’s Slide Inn,
Fall 2009 – Dates are being set
Seven nights and six days in the Holy Land of fly fishing! We’ve done this trip 4 times since 2005 and it’s always a smashing success! We’ve already made plans for our return and are booking the space. We’ll stay on the Madison River at the Slide Inn. You’ll have a cabin only a few yards from the river. From your cabin you’ll have about five miles of access to the Madison, more than you could fish in two weeks. The legendary $3 Bridge access is about a five minute drive away if you want to wade in other areas along the Madison.
September is our favorite time in Yellowstone Country. Weather is still mild, crowds have dwindled from the summer, and fishing is superb. Bull elk battle for females in the park while herds of buffalo migrate to the sheltered meadows along the river bottoms. Fat trout watch for wayward hoppers from under cut banks and blue wing olives hatch during the first cool days of autumn.
We spend at least two weeks of September here every year and know the country well. Ian has made the trip 10 times and Charity has been 5 times. We will not be your guides, but we will accompany you the whole way. We will make recommendations on flies, tackle, clothing to bring, and spend time with you out on the water.
The Slide Inn is owned and operated by Kelly Galloup. Kelly has been a guide for 30 years and is a noted author and editor-at-large for Fly Fisherman magazine. Kelly is also the host of Fly Fish TV on Outdoor Life Network. The Slide Inn is operated strictly as a fly fishing facility, so the staff and guides know exactly why you have come. The guides Kelly employs are among the best in the Rockies.
The Slide Inn will prepare breakfast for us every morning before we head out. Your guide will bring lunch along on your float trips. Dinner will be waiting for you every evening back at Slide Inn. Each river front cabin has one queen and one full size bed, a private bathroom and shower. All rooms are just steps from the river.
In 2008 we offerred two different packages for the week. All include meals and rooms. You choose how many days of guided fishing you want. We arranged one package with 6 days of guided fishing. A second package with 3 days of guided fishing will allow you to explore some on your own as well as using a guide.
