Welcome Anglers

Mark Young Outfitters is fortunate to own one of the most pristine stretches of trout habitat in the state of Montana along the Sun River. The Sun (as locals call it) flows out of the Rocky Mountain Front only 10 miles away and runs through approximately 10 miles of our family operated ranch and farm, the Flying Shit House Ranch.  Book a trip in April through August with our guide or simply enjoy a peaceful day on the river for the more independent fishermen.  Our knowledgeable fly fishing guides welcome anglers with varied experience levels, and will show you the best the Sun has to offer.  In addition to our private access to the Sun River, we are excited to offer small stream and creek (including the larger Elk Creek) access to any guests that might be interested!

 

A special thank you to the JJJ Wilderness Ranch for being our fishing endorsed outfitter! To book a one of a kind MT dude ranch vacation or Bob Marshall Wilderness  horse pack trip, visit their website at https://www.triplejranch.com/.  Outfitter number: 3165.
