Alice Owsley is the owner of Riverside Anglers, Inc., in West Yellowstone, Montana. She has been guiding the area’s blue ribbon waters for twenty years and independently outfitting clients since 2012. A fly rod led Alice from spring creeks in Ohio, where she learned to pursue trout at the age of 8, to the Rocky Mountain West hunting for any fish that would take a fly. Through all of her travels—from Belize to Alaska—no place or fish has held her interest like the trout species that inhabit the waters of Greater Yellowstone.

Alice is an award-winning caster who enjoys teaching clients reach casts, tuck casts, and proper fly presentation when Montana’s afternoon winds begin to blow. She has field tested Winston rods and loves the Winston Pure 9 foot 5 weight for its adaptability to any dry fly situation in southwest Montana. Alice lives in West Yellowstone year-round and spends her winters guiding snow coach trips in Yellowstone National Park. She loves skiing, photography, cooking, and spending evenings watching fish rise on the Madison River.
