Position available for Fly Fishing Guides for the 2025 Season at Henry’s Fork Anglers
Would you like to be a part of our legendary Henry’s Fork Anglers guide team? Would you like to guide on the most renowned rivers in the U. S., if not the world? We are the most experienced professional guiding business in the entire Yellowstone Region. We are seeking skilled, service-oriented individuals to join our team for the 2025 season.
About Us:
We started in the outfitting and guiding business more than 50 years ago. Our guide team is legendary. Several of our guides have worked here for more than 40 years. This provides a mentorship found nowhere else. Less experienced guides can learn from the best. The result of our vast experience and following is that we are booked full most of the season.
Another advantage of guiding for Henry’s Fork Anglers is the diversity of our service area. Guides that are limited to one or two rivers have little other option when their water isn’t fishing well. Henry’s Fork Anglers is legally licensed to guide on more water than any other outfitter in our area. In Idaho our legal service area includes the Henry’s Fork, South Fork of the Snake, Teton River, Henry’s Lake and lots of lesser-known water. We also hold a special river permit, known as an SRP on the Madison River in Montana. We are also licensed to guide on most other Montana waters. We also hold a special use permit to guide on all of the waters within Yellowstone National Park.
