Mid-July on is the most productive times to catch wild trout on a variety of dry flies and terrestrials while wading private creeks, Wilderness streams, and floating the “Mo”. Long days allow for extended periods of active feeding, allowing your tally of hook-ups to get way-out-of-hand.
Picture your cabin on the edge of the “Crown Jewel” of the American Wilderness System at 1.5 million acres. With your professional guide out front, ride gentle Quarter Horses along endless miles of crystalline freestone streams for large healthy wild rainbows and cutthroats with nobody in sight for miles.Our Ranch location is simply spectacular!

Ride horseback across the top of our Nation’s Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains South of Glacier Park. Arrive at the poshest Wilderness wall tent camp in Montana with most of the comforts of home. Surrounding camp is an enormous scattered timber basin with spectacular 8000’ high mountains and 13 miles of the South Fork of the Flathead River running right down the middle of it and absolutely boiling with huge 17” to 20” pure cutthroats you won’t believe. 2,3, and 4 weight rods are the ticket. This is a serious dry fly Mecca, which rates as one of the top couple of best dry fly fishing destinations in the United States. The exceptionally fine meal menu for this camp is the same as at the ranch – Terrific!
A Look Inside a Typical Cutthroat Expedition
(Day 1) We will rise well before daylight the day we ride into camp. Breakfast is served. We drive to our “Wilderness Edge” corral 20 minutes away, saddle up, and take a spectacular ride, 6 hours up and across the Continental Divide and down to the deluxe tent camp located about a half hour off the main river. Dinner is served, early to bed.
(Day 2-5) A cozy fire is built in your wood stove by your guide, you roll out while the guides saddle horses for the trip to the Danaher Creek/South Fork of the Flathead River/Youngs Creek. Guests and guides eat breakfast, pack rods and gear onto awaiting mules and ride an hour or so and arrive at “Cutthroat Heaven”. Your guide will make the stock comfortable while you suit up. Guides always offer to assist every angler in rigging operations as well as securing flies to tippet, etc. Expect to fish for four to six hours daily depending on the river location you fish. In late afternoon your guide will give you a half hour notice of fishing time left, hotfoot it back to the horses for the ride to camp. Arrive at camp for a drink (your bottle) and fabulous dinner including main course, tossed salad, scrumptious dessert and then turn in.
(Day 6) Up early, a big breakfast and on the trail by 8:00 a.m. We plan to arrive at the trailhead corrals by mid afternoon. We will unpack the horses and mules, load your personal gear into the appropriate vehicles, and drive you to your motel in Great Falls so that you may relax and repack for your departing flight the following morning.
Staying at the Ranch
We need everyone to stay at the Ranch the night before you ride into the Bob Marshall Wilderness tent camp. This is included in the price of your trip and will allow us to get an early start the next morning. For this evening at the guest ranch, expect to stay in a very deluxe wall tent on a deck. The interior has 3 lodge pole pine bunk beds, carpet, propane stove, lights, and extra outlets. You use your sleeping bag. A nifty flush outhouse and showerhouse is right next door. Your arrival day at the ranch is self guided in Ford Creek which hosts cutts, bows, brooks and browns.
