The Confluence Collection

Four Generations on Montana Water

Intimate by Nature

Rooted in the Powers family legacy, Montana Fly Fishing Lodge is a warm, refined basecamp set beneath the Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains in the Yellowstone River Basin.

Handcrafted log structures and canvas cabins blend natural materials and thoughtful design into a setting that feels elevated yet distinctly Montana — a place where attentive service and unhurried pace make the time between days on the water as memorable as the fishing itself.

We are Authentic Montana, not Resort Montana!
