Unique
Fishing Opportunities Montana abounds in stellar
fishing destinations, in fact you can't hardly throw a rock here in
southwest Montana without hitting blue-ribbon flyfishing water. If you
want to spend a day (or several) driftboat fishing the Madison, Yellowstone,
Big Horn, or any of the
myriad other world-famous rivers around here, we'll be happy to line
you up with the best guides in the business. For more thoughts on just
what qualities we look for in a guide, you might want to check out our
main fishing page. Let's say you've been
there and done that, though, and are looking for something different,
something exceptional, something unique....
OK, how about checking out the trophy waters of the Blackfoot Indian
Reservation? The lakes of the Rez are exceptionally productive, with
documented growth rates of up to an inch per month for the first four
years of a fishes life, so there are some honest-to-God lunker trout
to be caught. Also, the water levels have improved dramatically from
the recent low water years, and happy days are here again! And the setting....!!
Not only is the fishing world-class, so is the view. Nowhere better
showcases the abrupt transition from the high plains to soaring peaks
that occurs along the eastern boundary of Glacier Park and the Badger/Two
Medicine. No wonder the natives call it "the backbone of the world".
And not only are your Native American guides clued in to what's working
and what's not, they're exceptional individuals and fascinating to be
around. Not least, the guide rates are lower than many of the more popular
areas, as little as $100 per half day. Plus, we have some very unique
and historic cabin rentals in the area, and of course you must
spend some time touring around in Glacier Park... Sounding like fun?
Criminy!! It's not just fun, it's a completely exceptional experience,
so call us at 1-877-613-0404 or e-mail
and we'll set it up. And in the meanwhile, you might check out our article
about fishing the Blackfoot Reservation.
Another fishing experience that just delights us to no end is fishing
remote high-mountain lakes. In most cases, you'll find you have the
place to yourself (except for perhaps mountain goats!), so if you value
solitude, scenery, and stellar
fishing you really can't do better. Of course, reaching those isolated
basins can turn grueling, but much less so if you're riding a calm and
surefooted mountain pony, in which case getting there is easily half
the fun (maybe 65%. I really like riding good horses in the mountains....).
We work with a number of top outfitters who take great pride in their
horse herds, and are experts at matchmaking clients with a horse that's
a good fit. Day fishing trips to mountain lakes start at $130, and we
have a wide variety of destinations in areas like the Spanish Peaks,
Tobacco Roots, Madison Range, Yellowstone Park. Many of those also work
well for an overnighter or 3-day trip. If you've got the time.... for
the full experience there's nothing like a week's fishing packtrip through
the Bob Marshall Wilderness, or to the Thorofare in Yellowstone. You'll
never be quite the same.... For more thoughts on this, see our Packtrips
page, and to put more fuel on the fire check out our fishing
