Life on the Flathead River is good. In the past week we have seen steady improvements to the water quality and level. Water clarity has improved dramatically; all three forks are shaping up very nicely, with as much as 10 feet of clarity. The main stem of the flathead river […]
Fishing in the Flathead Valley is progressively getting better as the days go on. All three forks of the river are starting to see some nice clarity. The Middle and South fork are around 4-5 feet of clarity, while the North Fork is at 3 feet of clarity. With that, […]

I got out on Flathead River yesterday for the first guide trip of the 2018 season. Fishing was a little slow but there were a few trout that were hooked. Fish were found in slower deeper runs and were brought up with heavy nymph rigs with worm variations and stoneflies […]
I was able to get out with some fishy friends the other day for a short float on the upper main stem of the Flathead River. Getting into the House of Mystery put-in is still a pretty interesting endevour. You cant quite drive down there yet but you can push your […]
Flathead River Fishing Report 3-21-18 As the daily temperatures slowly starts to rise in the Flathead valley, so does the upper river’s trout populations. We are starting to see a few more fish in winter holding water every time we hit the river. There have been small bumps in the […]
