Come fish untouched water.

The Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex contains incredible remote rivers, creek and streams providing world-class blue ribbon fishing for strong wild cutthroats and native bull trout with  some pushing 30 inches  (Permit required. Please visit Montana Fish and Wildlife website for up to date information.) It is also home to many native fish species mountain whitefish, pygmy whitefish, northern pikeminnow, longnose and largescale sucker, and sculpin.

This 5 or 6-day fishing excursion is a once in a lifetime opportunity to fish the famous South Fork Flathead River drainage. The price is the same for a 5 or 6 day trip you can decide which is best for you. The ride in is 6-8 hours so at least two of the days will be devoted to riding on horseback. We set up all the camps, cook meals and provide two dedicated fishing guides to help you out. The waters that we may fish are the South Fork of the Flathead, Gordon Creek, Young’s Creek and Danaher Creek.

June has the potential for snow, especially at higher elevations.  The rest of the summer, you’re likely to get rained on at least once during your trip. To be fully prepared, please follow the recommended clothing list closely. See below for average summer temperatures for the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex:
