What to Expect

Your day begins with a smooth drift through pristine stretches of the Flathead River. Cast along gravel bars and riffles while your guide positions the boat for the best runs and teaches local techniques. Wildlife sightings — eagles, deer, and even the occasional bear — are common, and photo opportunities abound.

Each trip includes all necessary gear, bottled water, and shuttle service for one vehicle per boat. Lunches and custom catering can also be arranged upon request.

Conservation & Licensing

To protect Montana’s fisheries, each guest must hold two licenses:

A Montana Fishing License (daily or season)

A Montana Conservation License ($10 per person)

You can purchase both quickly online through Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.
