The
Rivers We Fish
The
Bitterroot River is our home stream and our activities are
centered out of the beautiful Bitterroot Valley. We have
fourteen different float trips and many wade-trip
opportunities. The river is most known for its incredible dry
fly fishing and trout readily rising to the dry fly even when there
is no hatch in progress. The river is three streams in one,
beginning high up the valley as a rocky, tumbling, small
river. The middle reaches braid and meander, its character
slowing into cut banks, deep pools and impressive runs. The
lowest river is very spring creek like, offering broad flats and
runs where you can always cast to rising sipper's.
The Clark Fork of the Columbia is Montana's largest
river. Seven different floats are offered on the river below
Missoula, and two floats above town. Upstream of Missoula it
is a rocky braiding stream filled with mostly brown trout.
Below Missoula it is a large trout stream of slick water where pods
of large rainbows (14" to 20") wander in its seldom fished
waters. This river has often been described as the last great
secret in the state of Montana.
The Big Blackfoot is a scenic wonder cutting through dramatic
canyons veiled in multi-colored cliff walls. Eight years of
special regulations have started to bring back quality trouting once
again. It has a great early season salmon-fly hatch and fishes
well in the August dog days. We have four different floats on
the Blackfoot. The "Box Canyon" trip fast became a
favorite with our clients.
Rock
Creek is a small intimate stream carved through a steep rock
canyon. It is classified a "Blue Ribbon" stream by
the state of Montana. We wade fish only for its catchable
browns and rainbows.
The Big Hole is one of Montana's famous trout streams.
Our services offer five different float trips. Mid-June is the
premiere time during the salmon-fly hatch, followed by a dependable
diversity of aquatic hatches through July.
The Beaverhead contains some of the largest trout to be found
in a river habitat in Western Montana. It is a small river
lined from bank to bank with walls of willows, undercut to
impressive depths. It's mostly a nymph and wet fly stream.
The Missouri is often described as Montana's largest spring
creek. Rising trout are dependable on the "Mighty
Mo" from mid-July through October. Impressive trico and
PMD hatches dominate.
