A trip to the Kootenai River valley offers a variety of fly fishing choices. Whether you will be spending the day with one of our guides
or venturing off to explore on your own rest assured that you will find many different types of water to choose from.
Winding it's way through the Northwest corner of Montana there are more than 70 miles of trout filled waters below Libby dam.
With a huge watershed and reservoir the Kootenai does not suffer from the restrictions caused by drought and heat.
Guests staying at the Lodge and Cabins also have private access to more than 2 miles of Lake Creek,
the lower Kootenai's finest tributary.
Fly fishing with us on the Kootenai and small streams you will spend the day with expert guides that have spent many years on this water.
Redband Rainbow, Westslope Cutthroat and Brown Trout are our primary targets in these rivers.
A typical day guided fly fishing is at least 8 hours covering 6 to 10 miles of river or stream. We fish the Kootenai and small streams
from drift boats to give us access to those places that would other wise be inaccessible on foot. We also stop as needed to get
out and fish the back channels, islands,
gravel bars and such. We won't keep you confined to the boat all day.
The season here starts late March / April for pre run off on the Kootenai. Then moves to small streams while the Koot blows out.
July finds us covering all the bases and we typically have great fishing through October.
Full day trips include Jeanie's famous homemade sandwiches, salad, dessert and non alcoholic beverages. Just bring your gear and licenses.

Spring time is about upon us folks. Koot is at 7k cfs mid May and fishable right now but that will change with higher water coming up.
Run off has been moderate locally so not too bad and things are fishing well.
Lake Creek up top at the cabins is in great shape. Drakes are now. Golden Stones are now. Water a bit high but with higher water brings better fish.
The best small stream time of the year is Now and for the next two months. Bull and Yaak open next weekend and I'll let you know.
Mountian lakes are still snowed in. Take a hike and let us know!
Time to fish. Give us a call.
