Whitefish Montana Fly Fishing

Fly fishing in Northwest Montana is a unique endeavor. Cold, gin-clear glacier water and native cutthroat trout are what bring anglers to this region. The Flathead River system is one of the last strongholds for westlope cutthroat and bull trout in the country. Some of the world’s cleanest, clearest water flows through this drainage out to Flathead lake just south of town. Whitefish is only minutes from the Flathead River drainage and offers a small, quaint Rocky Mountain ski town vibe with plenty of hotel accommodations for the traveling angler. Dry fly fishing with attractor patterns from drift boats is the primary tactic our guides employ.
