Montana Fishing

Our fishing adventures are designed with your comfort and success in mind. We offer a wide variety of fishing adventures, from one day floats along the lower Clark Fork river to week long journeys by horse and mule into high mountain lakes and streams, or you may want to combine the two for the total Montana Fishing Adventure!

Backcountry summer pack/ fishing trips:
Our backcountry trips into the LoLo National Forest offer some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in the state. This area is known as the proposed Great Burn Wilderness area. The area is inhabited with moose, elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, and black bear.
The high mountain lakes and streams are thriving with feisty western slope cutthroat trout. The only access into this area is by horses, mules or by foot. We offer stream fishing, lake fishing, horseback riding, and sight seeing from our camps located in the heart of this pristine wilderness.
These trips are offered from late July through August and usually last 3 to 4 days, or longer if you wish. You might consider combining this backcountry experience with a river float trip.

Float fishing trips:
Our float fishing adventures take advantage of the excellent conditions along the lower Clark Fork River west of Missoula Montana. The Clark Fork teams with rainbow, cutthroat, brook and brown trout. These fish range in size from 1 to 5 lbs. Both fly-fishing and spin cast fishing can be very productive in catching lots of fish. During your float you will enjoy the wildlife that can be seen along the shores of the river, such as deer, black bear, osprey, eagles, and beaver, not to forget the beautiful mountain scenery. Our float trips are offered from July through September.
