In September 2022, my husband and I visited Yellowstone National Park and spent a few days in Livingston, Montana. Since we were in the area, I had insisted to my husband that I was going to go fly fishing on the Yellowstone river. He, not being a fisherman, had no interest so I had to go it alone. Luckily I found Lance Gray.
Lance was kind enough to pick me up at the Historic Murray Hotel and drive me back at the end of an eventful day. First, Lance owns the most gorgeous drift boat I have ever laid my eyes on. It is a work of true craftsmanship. I would have been OK just drifting the Yellowstone River in it and luckily my day only got better.
Lance was great at helping me dial in on so many aspects of my fly fishing game and to be perfectly honest, I LOVE THIS! I can not express how happy it makes me when a guide is paying attention and actually wants to help me become a better fisher woman. I did my best to listen and then follow through with his advice. When I didn’t understand what he was trying to explain, he would take the time to figure out an alternate way to say it or in a worst case and with my permission, he would take my rod and explain it while showing me what he meant. It was incredibly helpful. By the end of the day I believe I had managed a grand slam on the Yellowstone. I had caught a white fish or two, rainbows, browns and a cutthroat for good measure! What a day! With more and more women taking up fly fishing and many who like myself are going it solo, it’s wonderful to know that there great guides on the rivers who really are about the love of the sport and do their best to make women feel included. Thank you Lance! Next time I find myself in Livingston and in need of a guide- you will be my first and only choice.

Lance was an AWESOME guide! We spent two days on the water and had a lot of fun all while catching fish. During our float trip, he directed us to areas on the river where fish might be hanging out, taught us the best ways to fight against the fish and shared the appropriate way to cast (marching band!). He was very patient and helpful to even the most novice fisherman. We look forward to going back to Montana from Iowa to take another guided trip with Lance.

A simple review will not do the trip justice. Lance did a phenomenal job. He was kind and patient with a new and a rusty fisherman. I would recommend him to anyone. As a matter of fact last fall he guided our son and wife. His knowledge on the river was top notch and he put us on a lot of fish.
