We offer full day and half day trips on the Black Foot and Clark
Fork Rivers, where we employ drift boats or rafts outfitted to navigate
these rivers. Both rivers are noted for Rainbow, Cutthroat, Brown
and Bull trout, while neighboring forest banks provide views of
deer, elk, beaver, osprey, eagles, kingfisher, geese, and the occasional
moose. Having 40 years of guiding experience under our belts has
given us a reputation as the most knowledgeable guides in Western
Montana (Jerry Nichols, Outfitter #132.) We track the river flows,
follow the hatches, and understand how the wild and unpredictable
weather affects our rivers and streams. We pride ourselves in being
true Western Montana natives.
Whether you are an avid fly fisherman or a novice seeking a new
way to spend time in the great outdoors, our guides will suit your
needs. We provide leaders, tippets and a
lunch that is homemade. Rental gear is available if you need
a fly rod setup. Visit our travel links page for accommodations
or give us a call if you want to spend a night or a few days in
the area.
Our season starts in mid-March and lasts until the middle of November.
The month of April is a great month to start the fishing season.
We have early baetis hatches and the big guys the fish are licking
their lips at: the skwala, gray drakes, March browns and blue wing
olives. In the months of June and July the stone fly and caddis
hatches provide favorable fishing conditions. The fall season is
a great way to end the fishing season. The fall season provides
October caddis and maghoneie hatches that provide plenty of opportunity
to catch fish before winter, and a great way to end the season.
Give us a call to book a reservation for the upcoming fishing season.
If you want the chance to fish for the Clark Fork trout in the Alberton
Gorge and enjoy going through 15 rapids all on one river trip, give
us a call. We are one of the few outfitters who have a commercial
Alberton Gorge permit. Our 15 foot NRS raft outfitted with casting
platforms, seats and lean bars provide the perfect comfort for fishing
and rafting. A portion of the trip is spent casting streamers deep
into the river behind large submerged boulders and into deep eddy
lines. Dry fly action is plentiful with few fishermen on this stretch
of river. If this trip interest you, give us a call, as it's one
of our favorites!!
