Fly Fishing Montana

The pristine lakes and rivers of Montana's Flathead Valley offer a virtual feast of fish and a wealth of water. Designated a federal Wild and Scenic corridor, the three forks of the Flathead River provide the extraordinary fly-fishing that make the sport and Montana rivers famous.

 

 

 

Fly In Fishing - Montana

 

Fishing Montana

 

 Montana is a land of fabled fisheries, a destination for anglers seeking a great recreational experience in a spectacular natural setting. The diversity of  Montana fishing matches the diversity of our landscape - wild trout thrive in the free-flowing streams and alpine lakes of the mountainous west; paddlefish, sauger, catfish, and sturgeon patrol the cottonwood-lined rivers of the eastern prairies; and productive, mixed-species fisheries populate the glacial lakes and reservoirs of our major valleys.

River Etiquette

 

  • Be aware that boat access areas can be busy places; you may wish to fish in a location that is less congested.  

 

  • Do not encroach on another angler's space. Use the "visual rule of crowding" and attempt to keep out of sight of other anglers, if at all possible.

 

  • Try not to monopolize a good fishing spot on the river. Fish for a while, then move on.

 

  • Boats should always yield to wade anglers, however, there are going to be instances when the wading angler should yield to floaters, because there is no other channel for the floaters to navigate.

 

  • When possible, avoid using the streambed as a pathway. This type of foot traffic can cause damage to the fragile aquatic habitat. Anglers should use the shoreline to travel from one point to the other, if doing so doesn't violate trespass and stream access laws.
