Fly Fishing Trips

To a true fisherman, there is nothing that compares to the Montana fly fishing trips you will find at FiveRiversLodge.com. Start with Montana's Beaverhead River fly fishing along the sixty-nine mile long journey, starting with the outlet of the Clark Canyon Reservoir. This is an irrigation storage facility that was built in 1964. The waters here are divided into two distinct sections and provide fishermen with unique fishing conditions. The river joins the Big Hole River at Twin Bridges, Montana to for the Jefferson River.

The Five Rivers Lodge is open all year for your fly fishing trips or for horse back riding, photography seminars, and more. You will enjoy the large, spacious facilities that will provide you with a comfortable stay where you can enjoy several gathering areas where you can visit while waiting for dinner. You will enjoy the best of Montana while you participate in some of the country's best fly fishing. They also have a library stocked with books on fly fishing and a fly tying bench that is well stocked with the materials you need to match Montana's local hatches.

Big Hole River offers fly fishing trips that extend for one hundred and fifty-three miles of free flowing waters. Big Hole River begins at Skinner Lake in the Beaverhead Mountains of southwest Montana to the Beaverhead River near Twin Bridges. It is a designated "Blue Ribbon" fishery and one of the most heavily used fishing streams in Montana. It is home to the largest population of stream-dwelling Arctic grayling of all the lower forty-eight states. Visit The Big Hole during mid-June for the emergence of the famous "Salmonfly Hatch" to kick off the ultimate in fly fishing trips. Dry fly fishing for rainbows and browns continues to the end of July with prolific hatches of caddis, mayflies, and lesser stoneflies.

Montana's Ruby River is not the target of many fly fishing trips in comparison to some other spots. It has the most difficult access due to the flow through private lands. The narrow and meandering waters are lined with extremely dense brush with only a few roads that cross the river to give access to the area. It is in a remote part of the state and although it does have brown trout waters, it is not easily accessed.

The Madison River originates in Yellowstone National Park at the junction of the Firehole and Gibbon rivers and flows north for one hundred and forty miles to Three Forks, Montana where it then joins the Jefferson and Gallatin rivers to for the Missouri River. This is one of the premier destinations for fly fishing trips due to its national reputation, heavy fishing pressure, good access, high scenic value, and excellent wild trout populations. The Quake Lake region has been classified as a "Blue Ribbon" trout stream.

fly fishing trips to Beaverhead, Big Hole, Ruby, Madison, and Jefferson rivers all have something special to offer any dedicated fly fisher. Go to www.fiveriverslodge.com and make your plans to stay at the Five Rivers Lodge.
