George Anderson | Mill House Podcast - Episode 126

George Anderson is the owner of Yellowstone Angler in Livingston, Montana, a fly shop he founded in 1979. His fly-fishing journey began in the Catskill Mountains of New York and was further honed in the Rocky Mountain West while attending the University of Colorado and working summers at a fly shop in West Yellowstone. After earning his business degree, George and his wife moved to Livingston, where he spent six years as assistant manager at Dan Bailey’s before opening his own shop. In 1985, the current Yellowstone Angler location was built, just south of Livingston on Highway 89.
Throughout his career, George has written for prominent fly-fishing publications, including Fly Fisherman, Trout, Big Sky Journal, and Saltwater Fly Fishing. He is also known for his success in competitive fly fishing, winning top honors at the Jackson Hole One-Fly in 1989 and 1990, setting records for the number of trout caught using his signature George’s Rubber Legged Brown Stone nymph. George has appeared as a guest angler on numerous television shows, including Fly Fishing the World with John Barrett and Spanish Fly with Jose Wejebe, and he has filmed several ESPN segments with Trevor Gowdy in Cuba’s Jardines de la Reina, targeting bonefish, tarpon, and permit.
A passionate saltwater fly fisher, George leads annual trips to Caribbean destinations and hosts trout fishing excursions to Alaska, Argentina, and other world-class locations. When not on the water, he enjoys golf, alpine skiing, scuba diving, bird hunting, and cycling.

One of the first fly shops I frequented in 1983 when I moved west from Florida to work in Yellowstone. Absolute legend. And refreshing to finally hear from an angler who could have cared less about hanging tarpon for a trophy or records.

George Anderson is and forever will be a big name in fly fishing and for good reason.
