The West Yellowstone Fly Shop, Jonathan Heames Fly Fishing and Big Sky Anglers have merged to acquire the legendary Bud Lilly’s Trout Shop building on the corner of Madison Avenue and Canyon Street in West Yellowstone, Montana. The new shop and partnership is organized under the Big Sky Anglers brand. The shop was bought by Lilly in the 1950s and sold in 1982. Until the recent sale, the shop was owned and operated by Barbara Klesel and Richard Greene. Lilly passed away at age 91 in early 2017.

In a note to anglers posted on the Big Sky Anglers website, the former owners wrote, “To all our friends and fellow anglers, the transition from Bud Lilly’s Trout Shop to Big Sky Anglers is now complete. For over 22 years, Barbara and I have looked forward to each season-renewing old friendships, seeing familiar faces as well as meeting new folks and making new friends. We will miss that. But at the same time we are looking forward to the changes being brought about by Big Sky Anglers owners Joe, Justin, and Jonathan. They are bringing a new look with a new level of excitement to the corner of Madison and Canyon-join us in wishing them the best.” – Dick Greene & Barb Klesel
