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!!


Wanting to spend a whole week or two fishing or exploring the area? Superior is centrally located in the Clark Fork River Basin with many rivers and streams near by. There is plenty of water around to explore and fish and our knowledgeable staff and fully equipped fly shop can ensure a successful, fun and memorable local fishing adventure.The Black Foot and Bitterroot Rivers are only an hour drive east of Superior. Rock Creek, a blue ribbon stream is one and half hours drive east, only 30 minutes outside of historic Missoula and the St. Regis River and Fish Creek are both 15 minutes from our shop. Another blue ribbon fly fishing creek, Kelly Creek is one a half hour drive from Superior, as is the St. Joe River in Idaho. And don't forget the Clark Fork River, plenty of trout and our shop is only footsteps away from the river. We rent one man personal pontoon boats at our fly shop along with drift boats. Give us a call to talk about the big one.
