The Bitterroot is our home river which meanders through the valley filled with fantastic
scenery. It is bordered on the west by the rugged Bitterroot Mountains and on the east
by the beautiful Sapphire Mountain range. The bitterroot has close to 100 miles of
Trout water that supports a healthy population of wild West Slope Cutthroat Trout,
Rainbow trout, Brown Trout, Brook Trout and Mountain White fish. There are also Pike
on the lower stretches.
The Bitterroot is a very diverse free stone river and is renowned for its many major aquatic insect hatches .
This river differs greatly over its 100 mile journey. From the upper reaches of the west fork which is a tail
water controlled by painted rocks lake with its faster pocket water filled with riffles, runs and rock gardens.
To the lower river with its deep holes, long runs, riffles and slow water. Trout water through and through.

The Madison river flows over 140 miles from its headwaters in Yellowstone National Park to its confluence
with the Gallatin and Jefferson. We fish thirty seven miles of this up stream from the town of Ennis.
The fifty mile riffle as this section is sometimes called, is a fast but gentle river. The Madison offers
exceptional Trout fishing in a beautiful setting. The Madison flows down the middle of the gorgeous
Madison valley, bordered on the west by the Madison range with its gentle sloping conifer forest and on
the east by the Gravelly range with it's massive snow capped peaks . This entire section of river has
countless Riffles, Runs and deep holes making this the best Trout fishing on the river.



The Clark fork begins near warm springs and flows for 275 miles where it empties into lake Pend Oreille. The
Clark fork is notorious for its opportunity's to cast to "pods" of large rising Trout. Fishing on this river can be
divided into two sections above and below Missoula. The upper section is a medium sized river, brown Trout
are predominate here. The lower section ( this is where the "pods" trout are found) has big riffles long slow runs
and deep holes. For something different one might want to throw on a streamer and go for a northern pike!
The Blackfoot (from the movie A River Runs Through It) is one of the twelve renowned "blue ribbon" Trout
streams in Montana. We fish the lower 54 miles of this river as the Trout fishing can be spotty in the upper
sections. The Blackfoot is a free flowing river, from its beginnings near the continental divide it flows 132 miles
to its junction with the Clark fork. The Trout fishing is excellent and the scenery is spectacular.
