Let’s Plan Your Visit
The 2024 season at Montana Fly Fishing Lodge kicked off with the first weekend of May, and we're now in the swing of things! The rivers are teeming with life, and it's the perfect time to book your trip and experience the magic for yourself.

Kicking off the year with two Corporate Groups, among numerous seasoned anglers, was a ton of fun! Corporate groups, either client appreciation or staff appreciation, are the most fun.  Usually composed of both experienced and novice fishers, the energy is always palpable...most often resulting in new fishing fanatics (special shout out to Dave W)! These groups wound up in UTV riding, spa services, cigars, and time in the rec barn! It was also fun to have one of the groups celebrating a big 40th birthday of one of its Senior Leadership team. 

Whether you're an avid angler or seeking a tranquil escape amidst nature's splendor, Montana Fly Fishing Lodge invites you to experience the magic for yourself. Book your stay today and discover why this exceptional lodge stands among one of the best in the industry.

“Five star accommodations combined with some of the best fishing Absoroka Beartooth Wilderness. The Hosts provide a level of hospitality that is beyond the pale. This is a fishing property that shouldn't be missed.” – Dennis “Fearless” Rubin, 2023
