7-Day Horseback Fly Fishing Trip

Experience the fishing adventure of a lifetime deep in the heart of the Bob Marshall Wilderness on our 7-day expedition. The fisheries in the Bob Marshall are just as pristine and prolific as they were in the days of the Lewis and Clark expedition and provide an unequaled opportunity to target the native west slope cutthroat trout and the bull trout.  This journey combines the thrill of horseback travel with world-class fly fishing on the pristine South Fork of the Flathead River. Your adventure begins with a two-day horseback ride into the wilderness, leading you to remote upper reaches of the river where few anglers venture. After a relaxing layover day of wade fishing in premier spots, you'll experience an unforgettable four-day float trip downstream, where cutthroat trout eagerly rise to dry flies and bull trout chase streamers in crystal-clear waters. Our primary target is Cutthroat Trout. Skilled anglers can boat over 100 Cutthroat Trout on good days, but it is common for a boat to catch 40 native cutthroat trout a day. Anglers that are fishing for Bull Trout should plan to dedicate time to a streamer rod. Bull Trout season is limited to the month of July.

Each day brings new fishing opportunities, with evenings spent in comfortable camps featuring fresh riverside meals and breathtaking wilderness views. This authentic backcountry experience, powered entirely by horses, mules, and dedicated guides, offers not just exceptional fishing but a genuine Montana wilderness adventure you'll never forget. Come experience the Wilderness from the perspective of both the trail and the river.
