Brendan McDonald, Guide at Wyoming Trout Guides

In the stunning town of Cody, Wyoming, located just an hour east of Yellowstone National Park, a seasoned fly fishing guide and veteran offers an exceptional fishing experience. With over a decade of experience guiding in the rugged terrains of the Inter-Mountain West and Alaska, this guide is passionate about spending time on local waters. Specializing in targeting Yellowstone Cutthroat, large Rainbows, and monster Brown Trout, they have honed their skills in the region. The fishing season in Cody runs year-round, with the best months from May through October. Full and half-day float trips are available across more than 200 miles of wild freestone and tailwater rivers, as well as trophy still-waters and remote walk-in areas within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.


Available for bookings from March through May and July through October (when not guiding in remote Alaska), this guide offers trips suitable for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, the guide is eager to provide a memorable fishing adventure in the heart of Yellowstone country. You can book trips directly or through Wyoming Trout Guides, a renowned local outfitter.


Wyoming Trout Guides Fly Shop, also based in Cody, is just 50 miles east of Yellowstone and was founded in 2012. Initially a guide service, it has since grown into a full-service fly shop that caters to all of Northwest Wyoming. The shop prides itself on offering the best customer service, high-quality gear, and top-tier fly fishing guides in the region. Whether you're new to fly fishing or an experienced angler, the staff is always happy to offer expert advice and guide you to productive waters. They emphasize a friendly, non-condescending approach, ensuring anglers have all the information they need for success.


The local, experienced guides know the rivers and lakes intimately from countless days on the water, and they are eager to share their knowledge with anglers of all skill levels. Committed to safety and professionalism, Wyoming Trout Guides ensures that all trips are conducted with insured, qualified guides. All guided trips follow a catch-and-release policy, preserving the natural beauty and fish populations of the area.
