Outstanding shop that's a Yellowstone legend. Took my son with Ethan who was fantastic in making his first fly fishing experience memorable and fun. Ethan knew the area well and chose the best spot for us to go, get away from the crowds, and catch dozens of trout. Kody was great all along with helping to book the trip and also runs a great shop in historic Gardiner. Will be back!

Best fly shop I’ve ever been to. I consistently fly fish all over the country, and have been to countless fly shops. Parks fly shop isn’t the biggest or fanciest out of all of them, but they have exactly what you need and they will shoot you straight with info. Guys there are absolutely awesome and super knowledgeable. Leaving a review because I simply haven’t ever found a better fly shop. If you’re in Gardiner, stop by - it will be worth it.

Wonderful, fly shop, very helpful sharing information on where and how to find some fish. Booked a guide too, Jarrett was awesome, super knowledgeable, we learned a lot and my 12 year old son had a great time with him. It was a cold windy day, yet walked away warmed with joy.

The beauty of Yellowstone is only rivaled by the personality and passion for the outdoors that our guide Trevor has. He has set the standard to which we will base every trip we have going forward, but I know it’s an impossible standard to meet. If you are fishing, hiking, cross country skiing, or snowshoeing you will be at a loss if you aren’t using parks fly shop. We will only be using them for future guiding trips and I can not wait to book the next one!

The guides out of this shop are fantastic. I brought 4 other members of my family on a float down the Yellowstone, with very different fly fishing skill levels. Every single person had a blast, learned a lot and caught fish. It was a tough group (3 boats, some folks had essentially no experience) but Rob, Clancy and Trevor did an amazing job.Beyond that, several days later I stopped into the shop to ask about a trip I was planning around Montana. Trevor, Clancy and Richard gave great advice and were happy to do it despite no direct financial benefit to them. They were just stoked to help. This is a top notch group of people.

Whether you are new to the sport, or an experienced angler, Parks’ Fly Shop is an outstanding resource for fly fishers. My brother and I have been fly fishing in Yellowstone National Park for well over 30 years, and we still hire Parks’ to guide us. Richard’s knowledge of YNP and the rivers nearby, outside The Park, is unsurpassed, and he has surrounded himself with an incredible crew of guides. I really can’t say enough about our recent (last week) float and walk/wade trips with them. Kody, Rob, Trevor, Clancy and Ethan are all accomplished anglers who will put you on big fish, often on a dry fly. If you want a truly memorable fly fishing experience, hire Parks’ as your guide.

I spent a week in Gardiner with my 17 year old son. Parks' Fly Shop was our "goto" for everything we needed, and we needed a lot! My son is a beginner fly fisherman and even though I have been doing it for awhile, I'm not much more than a novice. We booked a trip with Trevor for the first day of our trip to get a lay of the land and some help with casting and tactics. It was the perfect guided trip for what we needed. Trevor was knowledgeable, pleasant, and just fun to fish with. It helped that we caught a TON of fish! We both took a lot of lessons away from the day that we were able to use for the remainder of the week. It was easy to establish a relationship with the crew at Parks' Fly Shop and they came through for us in spades. Trevor helped us fix some reel problems and even gave us a loaner to use while it was being worked on. Shop Manager, Kody, greeted us with genuine questions and knowledgeable answers. Without fail, they all put us onto fish, including Ethan and Clancy. When we had boot issues, Richard himself hooked us up with a pair to rent. We dealt with a lot of the staff at Parks and they were all great! If you are looking for a fly shop in the Gardiner area then do yourself a favor and stop in on the best of the best: Parks' Fly Shop.

These guys are awesome! I think we talked to Cody, but there was another helpful guy as well. They suggested a certain trail in East Yellowstone (Unfortunately I forget the trail name), and it was probably the best hike in my 15 years of hiking. We bought a can of bear spray too... much cheaper than in Bozeman. Highly recommend if you're buying hiking supplies or just need advice on a trail!

We just finished up fishing YNP and the area just north of Gardiner for 2 1/2 weeks. The fishing was incredible. We fished 4 days with Clancy, who is a pure natural outdoorsman. His skills are obvious. Watch him cast, and stack mends. We caught fish. Many of the fish we caught warranted photos. On two of of the days, we caught so many, that I just put the flyrod away, and pulled out a camera. All that said, Clancy is just fun to be around. He is personable, friendly, and has a great sense of humor. We already have our dates booked for next year.On the days we were not fishing with Clancy, we were inevitably in the shop nearly everyday. All of the guys at the shop, Richard, Kody, Trevor, Rob, and Ethan, were wonderful. They all helped with pointing out new water, noting the flys that were fishing well, and answering any odd-ball question about the park or the region. Like I said in the previous paragraph, we already have our dates for next year.

Cody was very knowledgeable and helpful and showed me maps that led me to a great couple of spots on the river. Great experience in a very nice man.
