About

Aaron Wert, owner and outfitter for Gallatin Valley Outfitters, knows his water. Originally from Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes. Aaron has called the water in southwest Montana home since 1996. Though if you ask his two yellow labs, Oly and Lena, they’ll tell you there will always be room for a little mid-western love in his heart. The true all around guide, Aaron has been mentioned in both Forbes and Western Horseman for his guiding abilities.
GVO is located in the heart of the beautiful Gallatin Valley, in Bozeman Montana, just 45 minutes from Big Sky. Their centralized location allows you more options than you could fit into a weeks worth of fishing and Aaron will guide you to the most productive waters available during your time in this great area. As a United States Coast Guard Captains license holder, GVO offers even more options than most outfitters.
Whether you are new to the sport or a seasoned pro, GVO will be there to offer help or quietly row the boat while you take in the beauty of the day. And when you need a photo of that trophy brown, he’ll happily take the picture to show your friends back home the proof of your success.
GVO is a complete experience. From a gourmet shore lunch* to an impromptu knot tying clinic riverside, GVO will go above and beyond your expectations to make your day a success.
* Did we mention that Aaron has years of experience cooking in some of the most exclusive kitchens in Big Sky? After five years with the Yellowstone Club, he spent the last 2 winters running the kitchen for The Club at Spanish Peaks’ sleigh ride dinners.
