Times are good in the Flathead Valley! The water is dropping quick and the trout are looking up. Big water: The entire Flathead system from the forks of the Flathead River to Flathead Lake is fishing pretty dang good these days. Flows are well below 10,000 CFS on the main-stem […]
Its been a hot one out there this week. We are loosing our snow pack quick but with this warm weather bugs are hatching, cutthroat are spawning, and people are getting out and enjoying our public waterways. What a great time to be in Montana. Big water: The color of […]
Big water: The big water is running around 21,300 CFS. Thats pretty big but it appears to be on the drop and hopefully we will get another short window to fish the big river before it decides to really blow out. If you do get out to fish, look for […]
We made it to May. After several weeks of being shut down with a standing “stay at home order”, Governor Bullock has begun slowly opening the state’s economy. We are currently in Phase 1 of a 3 phases reopening. Phase 1 and 2, allow us to run guided fishing trips […]
How high is the water Momma? -Johnny Cash Big water: The big water is quite large and getting bigger by the day. Its “High Water” season in the Flathead Valley. Small Water: Small water is no longer a good descriptions of our creeks and small rivers. Everything flowing is big […]
Spring appears to have sprung in the Flathead Valley and the fishing has been similar to the weather, HOT. Big water: The big river and it’s tributaries have seen quite the turnaround this week. Water temps have risen into the mid 40’s with our warm and sunny days and it […]
This week has been interesting, huh? I won’t dive into the obvious but what I will tell you is what I and some fishy friends from around the Flathead Valley have observed on our local waterways this week. Big Water: The Flathead River system is fishing pretty similar to the […]
Spring time fishing on the Flathead River is about quality over quantity.
Big Water: The fishing continues to be pretty darn good on the Flathead River. With current flows at 6,230 CFS, water levels are great throughout the entire river system. However, water temperatures have gotten a little warmer than average for this time of year. The river temperature through town reached […]
Big Water: The Flathead River is fishing good but it has not been consistent throughout the day. If the trout are feeding, you can’t ask for better fishing with lots of dry fly eats and some really nice fish making their way into the net. However, if the trout aren’t […]
Scary stuff is happening on one of Montana’s most hallowed rivers. Our hearts go out to local anglers, guides, and outfitters in the area. If you live in the vicinity of the upper Madison River consider helping out. Good luck out there folks.

We took a little hiatus, AKA breather, AKA “jumped on the wagon” from the social media world this summer. Focusing on the day to day guiding operations and more importantly our angling clients surpassed the importance of social media.
The craziness of the 2021 summer has subsided. The meager boat traffic on the water, the lack of guide’s boats parked in front @larysfly as well as Northwest Montana’s amazing fall colors are a powerful reminder that things are starting to slow down. Although we aren’t done guiding yet, its time to roll up rafts, winterize motors, and stock up on fly tying materials for the long winter ahead.
This annual change in pace is welcomed by our bodies and minds but there is no doubt that in a short amount of time we will be jonesing to get back on the water with our angling clients we now call friends.
We couldn’t of asked for a better season and we thank you all for allowing us to live out our dreams on the water.

Montana’s dirt roads can be brutal on gear and guide rigs. However, they due tend to lead to some pretty good fishing days.

The mighty Mo. You win some and loose a bunch. According to long time clients Mike and Dale, “It’s always worth the price of admission”.

Oh, the places you find the big ones. Great day head hunting for big and not so big trout on small water. It was a pleasure. @frankmali55
