Episode 126: George Anderson - The River Rhino

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.
