The Golden Stone Inn was created by Joe, Jonathan and Justin, owners of Big Sky Anglers, a full service fly shop located in downtown West Yellowstone. If you’re here to fish, this is the place for you.
As anglers, we have come to know this area around West Yellowstone as the very heart of the finest angling in the country. We have yet to find a place anywhere that has more quality trout water within a 100 mile radius.
LODGING FOR ANGLERS,
BY ANGLERS
This area has a long tradition and legacy of fly fishing, with legends such as Bud Lilly, Charlie Brooks, Lee and Joan Wulff, Bob Jacklin, and Dave Whitlock who have all come here to know, appreciate, and write about this amazing diversity of waters. It is our aim to provide visiting anglers and the Yellowstone tourist alike a special spot to stay that is well thought out for their enjoyment of this area that we’ve come to know and love. We hope you’ll enjoy your stay with us!
Resting in one of the vertices of the Golden Triangle, this area has a vast array of blue ribbon fly fishing at your fingertips. Below are just a sampling of the lakes and rivers we have access to.
Montana’s Legendary Madison River
Boasting 50 miles of freestone riffle water situated in classic Big Sky Country.
Henry’s Fork of the Snake River in Idaho
The Henry’s Fork is the largest spring creek in North America and is arguably the most famous river in the country.
Hebgen Lake and Henry’s Lake
Both lakes provide world class still water fishing and beautiful mountain scenery as the mountains reflect off the lakes.
YELLOWSTONE River
Inside and just outside of the park, the Yellowstone is the longest wild and free flowing river undammed in the United States, boasting abundant populations of native trout.
GALLATIN RIVER
70 plus accessible miles of mountain free stone river. The Gallatin offers easy fishing access through the Gallatin Canyon.
LAMAR VALLEY
The Serengeti of North America. This area contains a huge population of cutthroat trout swimming in beautiful, pristine, freestone rivers with mountain peaks as far as the eye can see. This is dry fly at its best.
