    About this trip

    Join us in Big Sky Country, where majestic mountains, crystal-clear rivers, and wide open skies set the stage for an unforgettable women’s fly-fishing adventure. Whether you’re a total beginner or have some experience on the water, this immersive and empowering trip will connect you with nature, community, and the thrill of fly fishing.

     Together with expert local guides, we’ll learn the art of fly fishing from the banks of the Gallatin River, the legendary waters of the Upper Madison, and the iconic Yellowstone River. With plenty of time for relaxation, laughter, and picture-perfect moments, this is more than a fishing trip—it’s a wild and wonderful reset with like-minded women in one of America’s most scenic destinations.

    Important Notes

    Activity Level – Mild & Manageable

    This adventure is designed for women of all fitness levels—no prior fishing or outdoor experience required!

     Most of our time will be spent standing on the riverbank or sitting comfortably in a drift boat while casting, learning, and enjoying the scenery. While there are long periods of standing or sitting throughout the day, the physical demands are gentle. Waders and boots will be provided to keep you dry and comfortable when in the water, and our guides will assist with all gear and techniques.

     If you can walk short distances, stand for moderate periods, and get in and out of a boat, you’ll be great. This is more about presence, patience, and connection than physical exertion.

    Weather

    The weather in Montana in July can range from the 70s-90s for highs and 40s-50s for lows. Be watching the weather to pack accordingly.

    Reviews

    What a fabulous trip to Greece and the islands of Santorini and Mykonos! This is my second trip with Chicas Abroad and both trips have been stellar. Last year I hiked the Camino De Santiago trail with the Chicas and had a blast. The hotels are top of the line. You won’t be disappointed. I love that everything is arranged for you and all you have to do is enjoy! No stress on vacation as Melanie and her trip leaders take care of everything. The activities and tours are carefully chosen and all have been fabulous. And you get to make new friends with your fellow travelers. If you are looking for a tour company that is top of the line, check out ChicasAbroad.com for all of their fabulous trips! I am already looking forward to my next trip with the Chicas!

    Just returned from 8 days in Greece with Chicas Abroad! What an amazing trip. From Athens to Santorini to Mykonos back to Athens. From the time I landed until the time I left I didn’t have to think about a thing. Everything was thoughtfully planned, including free time to explore and to see all of the relevant sights. It was a dream vacation. I have met wonderful ladies from all across the country, whom I will remain friends with for years to come. Melanie and Kathy were the most excellent Chicas guides! I loved every single minute. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

    I traveled to Greece with 2 friends from my hometown and we had a wonderful time. However, the Chicas Abroad leaders, Melanie and Kathy had all the details planned extremely well and everyone was so nice that I would not hesitate to take another Chicas’ trip on my own. What a confidence booster! It was a super experience all the way around. Great job ladies!

    This was my first trip with the Chicas. It will not be my last! The accommodations were top notch. The activity level was very active, we truly had great adventure. I learned so much thru the people I met. There was a real sence of belonging. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and fun as well. I started out with strangers but gained a new group of strong friends with these ladies. It was an unforgettable experience.

    This trip felt “intimate” and very cultural. I enjoyed meeting meeting the food artisans in their shops (pasta, chocolate, dairy). The chefs and owners of several restaurants came to our table to welcome us, and will always remember dinner at Monica’s family home.

    We could not have had the experience we had without your assistance. From the driver who picked us up from the airport to the driver of the 55 passenger bus the drivers were amazing. Having a guide for every excursion/tour was a must. Our tickets were ready, no lines to wait in, and having a knowledgeable guide was so appreciated!!! We were able to see everything we hoped to. Our time in Grimaldi was so special…we didn’t know what to expect. The people of Grimaldi were so kind and made us feel very welcomed. A trip of a lifetime that we were able to experience as a family🇮🇹❤️

    My niece and I went on this trip together and the memories and experiences we gained are something I will always cherish. The trip was perfectly planned, the group was full of kind and fun women, and the itinerary was challenging while also safe and enjoyable. I will definitely be checking back in to book a future Chicas Abroad trip!
