Experience World-Class Fly Fishing on the Bighorn River with Shade Tree Outfitters

If not for Tyler, I’d still be on the periphery of fly fishing. Our first fishing trip together was in 2013 and it was the best fishing day of my life. We have a rapport that’s pretty unique. I appreciate his honesty, integrity, laid back approach, and his natural ability to teach me to become a better angler. He’s the perfect guide for me and we’ve fished together many times since that first day. Tyler and Katie have become dear friends of mine and I am always planning my next trip to the Bighorn.

Shade Tree Outfitters is an outstanding outfitter, run by Tyler and Katie Steele who are long-time, year-round residents of the Bighorn River basin. Tyler is an exceptional river guide and steward of the area – so knowledgeable about bugs, fish, weather, conditions and how to find fish. Any angler from a beginner to a seasoned fisherman would have a great day on the river with Tyler. Katie is super organized and communicative when planning trips and her lunches are always something to look forward to – BEST sandwiches and cookies! Shade Tree is the best outfit on the Bighorn!

Shade Tree Outfitters with Katie and Tyler is a fabulous way to fish the Bighorn. Tyler is experienced in everything fly fishing resulting in amazing days on the river with successes not only in landing some monsters but in learning techniques that will enhance your fishing skills. Katie makes it all run smoothly and packs a whopper of a good lunch with homemade treats. The two of them are people you want to hang out with and as outfitters are top notch.
