Extra Costs

• Montana Fishing License – We recommend you purchase your license(s) online before your trip at the Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks website to save time. Any angler 12 years of age and older must have a Conservation License ($10-nonresident) plus a Fishing License ($14 for one day, $56 for five consecutive days, or $100 for season-nonresident), plus an Angler AIS Prevention Pass (AISPP) ($7.50 for non-residents). No license is required for anglers aged 11 years and younger IF accompanied by an adult with a valid Montana fishing license. Click here to buy a Montana Fishing License Online.
• Guide Gratuity – Gratuity is a significant part of the guide’s income, and is well appreciated to help with the guide’s fuel, flies lost on the trip, and reflects the hard work of the guide. The average gratuity is $120-$150 per guide per trip. However, if you feel the guide deserves more or less, please adjust the amount according to your experience.
• Wader and Wading Boot Rental – Let us know when booking a trip if you need rental gear and we will arrange to have them upon your arrival. Prices with Trout On The Fly LLC are $35 for half day rental and $45 for a full day wader and boot rental. Rent your waders and boots beforehand at our online store HERE.
• Airport Transfer – We recommend renting a car using Uber.
• Yellowstone National Park Fishing License – A different license is required if you plan to fish in Yellowstone National Park. Anglers 16 years and older can purchase a three-day ($40), seven-day ($55), or season ($75) permit online HERE. Anglers 15 years of age and younger may fish without a license when supervised by an adult or obtain a free permit signed by a responsible adult to fish without direct adult supervision. No Montana or Wyoming state fishing license is required in Yellowstone National Park.
• Yellowstone National Park Entrance Fee – On all guided trips inside YNP, each angler must pay a $20.00 entrance fee (excluding the guide). This fee can be paid at the entry gate or in advance HERE. If you are a national park season pass holder, this will get you and everyone in that vehicle into the national park without the above additional entry fee.
• Transaction Fee – All credit or debit card payments add 4% to the total amount.
