Lodge Adventures
“Today was some of the most fun I’ve ever had!”
Fly Fishing
The Madison River is our primary stomping grounds. It’s likely the most beautiful river you’ll fish in Montana. The fly fishing on the Madison is some of the best in the country, if not the world, and is why it has been classified as a blue ribbon trout river. We’re sure you’ll fall in love with its beauty - flanked on one side my the Madison Mountain Range and the other by the Gravelly and Tobacco Root Mountains. Sightings of eagles, osprey, moose, antelope and deer are common occurrences.
The Jefferson River is a unique fishery that fishes best in Spring and Fall. Although there are fewer fish than in some other rivers nearby, the Jefferson River has the benefit of being much less crowded AND the fish found are primarily nice healthy brown trout on the streamer bite. We offer this river from our Ennis location.
The Missouri River is our next favorite river! We service guests in our remote lodging in Craig, Montana. The Missouri is the longest river in the United States, flowing more than 2,500 miles from its source on the eastern slope of the Rockies near Three Forks, Montana, to its confluence with the Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri. The Upper Missouri is a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System. It offers everything from tossing dry flies to sipping rainbows to streamer fishing for big browns.
Trail Hiking
Trail Hikes through some of the best and most scenic routes that our Madison Valley and our surrounding valleys have to offer. Enjoy access to trails that wind through private acreage with opportunities at seeing elk, moose, deer, pronghorn antelope, eagles, osprey and much more.
