Sweetwater Fly Shop is located on the outskirts of Livingston, Montana, at the northern entrance to the Paradise Valley, on the western bank of the world-renowned Yellowstone River. Our home at the edge of paradise provides us easy access to some of the most celebrated and diverse blue-ribbon trout waters in America: From placid Paradise Valley spring creeks—DePuy’s, Armstrong’s, Nelson’s—to revered fisheries in Yellowstone National Park, to the mighty Yellowstone River which tumbles through our back yard.
