What To Expect
Join one of the expert guides for a half-day fly fishing adventure on Montana’s scenic Flathead River. Your trips take place on the North and Middle Forks of the Flathead River, right along the border of Glacier National Park.
Whether you’re a seasoned angler with decades of experience or a beginner who doesn’t yet know your line from your leader, your professional guides will provide the instruction and support needed to help you successfully fish these beautiful waters.
Guests are welcome to bring their own gear, or we can provide everything needed for an unforgettable day on the river. We recommend bringing your own water, wearing sunscreen (sun shirts strongly encouraged), and dressing for the conditions. Please also wear shoes you are comfortable getting wet in while fishing.
All guests must check in 30 minutes prior to their scheduled departure time. During check-in, the Glacier Anglers team will verify signed e-waivers (or provide paper waivers if needed) and record each angler’s Montana Fishing License number (ALS number).
Children 11 years old and younger do not need a fishing license in Montana.
