The Big Hole River’s grassy meadows, mountainous horizon, wide-open spaces, braids and islands in between classic riffles littered with hanging
cottonwoods are gorgeous to first-time explorers. Our Big Hole River fly fishing trips are fun-filled and relaxing.

With its blue-ribbon trout streams, slow-moving pools, sharp turns overlooking thick forests and lush green agricultural fields, and rich wildlife, the river is a favorite spot for fishing with guides. Once it leaves the mountains, the river spills into a valley and merges with the Beaverhead River.

Big Hole River is the ultimate spot for blue-ribbon trout fishing. The river is home to a variety of trout, including wild trout, rainbow trout, and brown trout. Strict fishing regulations maintain fly fishing quality and keep the fishing pressure tolerable.

So, if you’re up for the fishing trip of your life, choose the Big Hole and explore the prettiest river in all of Montana.
