Lodge Trips are for guests preferring a private cabin and the modern amenities not typically found in the backcountry. Fishing options include float and wade fishing the South Fork in comfortable 14-foot inflatable rafts, hike and wade fishing the smaller waters, or float fishing the nearby high mountain lakes. Guests return to the comfort of their cabin each evening. Horseback riding on mountain trails is included. Hearty breakfast and spectacular dinners are served in the lodge dining room; lunches are typically streamside picnics.
Wilderness Pack and Float Trips are for the adventurer looking for the ultimate fly fishing experience in the pure and unspoiled wilderness. The unique combination of horseback riding, camping, rafting, and float/wade fly fishing make this a trip to remember. Guests horseback ride into the Bob Marshall Wilderness, North America’s premier wilderness area, for the first two days. They arrive at the campsite in time for a few hours of fly fishing before and after dinner. The third day is a relaxing day when guests take advantage of the excellent hike/wade fishing near base camp and take time out to watch wildlife and take pictures. The last two days are spent floating and wade fishing the South Fork to the take out point. From the take out, guests walk or ride approximately 45 minutes to the trailhead where they are transported back to the lodge to clean up for dinner or head back to the Flathead Valley area. The uniqueness, exclusivity, and truly fantastic fly fishing easily make this Spotted Bear Ranch’s most popular trip.
The South Fork of the Flathead – Unique Among Montana’s Fly Fishing Rivers. The South Fork of the Flathead is considered Montana’s premier native trout fishery and is a favorite among the lucky few who have fished its unspoiled waters. Originating high in the Bob Marshall Wilderness at the confluence of Youngs and Danaher Creek, the South Fork flows freely for nearly seventy miles before emptying into the stunning Hungry Horse Reservoir. Hard to find and impossible to forget, the South Fork offers the experience of a lifetime to the angler. There’s no place on earth like it |
