Gardner River - Fall Fly Box

Fish the Gardner like you know it — because now you do. The Gardner River Fall Fly Box is hand-curated specifically for the conditions, hatches, and trout behavior you'll encounter on the Gardner from September through October. Fall on the Gardner brings consistent BWO hatches and some of the best streamer fishing for brown trout in the park's northern waters. The canyon sections hold larger fish than most anglers realize. This box is built around the Gardner's fall hatch calendar — BWOs on overcast afternoons and streamers for the brown trout moving into the deeper canyon pools. Every fly was chosen with swinging Woolly Buggers through the canyon runs and matching the BWO hatch on mild fall afternoons in mind, giving you exactly what you need to match what the fish are eating at this time of year. What's in the box: 36 flies total — 18 unique patterns, 2 of each — covering BWO dries, Woolly Bugger streamers, Fall Caddis patterns, Elk Hair Caddis, Pheasant Tail nymphs, and RS2 nymphs. No filler. No patterns that don't belong on this river in this season. Pro tip from the water: The Gardner is within easy walking distance of Mammoth Hot Springs. Combine a morning of BWO dry fly fishing with an afternoon of geothermal sightseeing — one of the best value days in the park. Whether you're making your first trip to the Gardner or you fish it every season, this box gives you a proven starting lineup so you can spend more time fishing and less time digging through bins at the fly shop. Includes a quality waterproof fly box. All flies are hand-tied to Bozeman FlyWorks standards — the same quality we'd put on our own lines.
