We Love Our Rivers

Missouri River

We spend our spring and fall chasing big rainbows and browns below Holter Dam. Crowds are minimal and the fishing is hot when we run Missouri trips.

Flathead River

Summer on the Flathead River system is phenomenal. Native westslope cutthroats and Glacier National Park in the background. We fish the middle, north and mainstem of the system. Each section offers unique options for float and wade fishing trips.
