Rivers We Fish

We are extremely lucky to be located at the junction of four of the greatest trout streams in the lower 48. Within an hour in every direction we have over 150 miles of navigable water just full of wild rainbows, cutthroat, brookies, browns, and cutbows! Unlike a lot of other areas we are blessed with having roughly 85 - 90% of our fishing done with dry flies!

Clark Fork

The river that runs literally through our backyard is the Clark Fork. The Clark Fork River is wide, flat water where rainbows and browns pod up along rip rap banks, in current seams and in large eddies to gulp a smorgasbord of mayflies. It's dry fly purist's dream. Hatches include PMDs, mahogany duns, baetis, caddis and hoppers.

Blackfoot

The Blackfoot is a timeless river. Sheer cliffs reach from deep green pools where westslope cutts, browns, rainbows and bulls seek relief from the river's hydraulics. It's truly mystical trout water. Hatches include salmonflies, golden stones, green drakes, October caddis, baetis and hoppers. The Blackfoot also offers up some of the best streamer fishing around.

 

Bitterroot

The Bitterroot River is lined by the jagged mountain peaks of the Bitterroot range as it cuts straight north to it's confluence with the Clark Fork. Along it's journey, short riffles give way to long flats, deep pools and undercut banks. This is a brown trout paradise. Hatches include skwala stones, drakes, caddis and hoppers.

Rock Creek

If a fly fisher could create a stream, Rock Creek would be it. It's riffle, run, pool character is easy to read. It has a high population of cutts, rainbows and browns. It even has a dependable salmonfly hatch. It's utter perfection. Hatches include salmonflies, golden stones, drakes, PMDs, caddis and hoppers.

Missouri

We also provide guide service on the Missouri River. The Missouri is a tailwater river that offers up over 5,000 fish per mile. It's long and wide which offers up a variety of fishing styles. Although the "MO" is primarily a nymphing river there are plenty of opportunities for dry fly action.
