Fishing Program The Westslope Troutfitters fishing program is designed so that you may customize your own fly-fishing adventure or let us customize one for you. FLATHEAD RIVER SYSTEM North Fork of the Flathead River We offer full and half-day fishing adventures on the North Fork, Middle Fork, and Main Stem of the Flathead River. From feral places like the Great Bear and Bob Marshall Wilderness, together with the shadowy haunts of Glacier National Park and the Canadian Rockies, comes the origin of the Flathead Rivers. A complex watershed, itself a wild indicator, the system represents one of the remaining strongholds for native Cutthroat Trout still found in Montana. Where else in the lower 48 can you catch native trout, cross the track of a grizzly, and enjoy the howl of a hidden wolf echo across the river, all in the same outing? *7% User Fee applied to all trips per the U.S. Forest Service $410 full day $310 half day   Middle Fork of the Flathead River The Middle Fork is the Southwestern boundary of Glacier National Park and finds its origin in the dense Bob Marshall Wilderness. The Middle Fork represents some of the best angling opportunities in the entire Flathead System. Its upper reaches offer a true wilderness float with the added bonus of some exciting whitewater. This is one of our personal favorites and we look forward to guiding these trips whenever possible. We also offer multi-day trips on the Middle Fork. *7% User Fee applied to all trips per the U.S. Forest Service $410 full day $310 half day THE MAIN STEM OF THE FLATHEAD RIVER The Main Stem of the Flathead is a large river best suited for drift fishing. It is also very convenient to Whitefish, Columbia Falls, and Kalispell. After spring run-off, the lower Flathead offers some of the best dry-fly fishing in the state. The Flathead system, as a whole, is an excellent fishery. It’s a freestone river system with wild trout that spawn in wild places and can be an amazing place to spend a day. $425 full day $325 half day THE CLARK FORK OF THE COLUMBIA RIVER The Clark Fork originates to the East of Missoula, Montana at the confluence of Warm Springs and Silver Bow Creeks. The areas that we predominantly guide are east and west of St. Regis, Montana. We enjoy the Clark Fork because it provides ample opportunities for the angler to catch large trout on large dry flies. The Clark Fork is a big western freestone river best suited for drift fishing. Here, the angler has the opportunity to catch four species of trout- rainbow, cutthroat, cut-bow, and brown trout. $450 full day BLACKFOOT RIVER The Blackfoot River is one of the finest in the state. Scenic beauty, great trout habitat, and a variety of trout species all combine to make a fly-fishing trip on this river a memorable one. This river was made famous by the 1992 film "A River Runs Through It". For the angler who is looking for an all-encompassing float with great fishing in a beautiful setting, the Blackfoot River is the trip for you. $450 full day MISSOURI RIVER The Missouri River is one of the greatest tailwater fisheries in the country. This river is best suited for the experienced angler looking for trophy trout. The Missouri has one of the highest trout populations per mile in the entire state and provides some of the most exciting rainbow and brown trout angling available. Pound for pound, these are among the strongest fighting trout we have encountered anywhere in the world. $450 full day LAKE FISHING Westslope Troutfitters has access to many different lakes in our area . These are some of the smaller lakes and provide excellent fly-fishing for many different species of fish. A lake is a great place to learn to fly-fish, especially for children.
