Welcome to Wild Trout Adventures, your source for flyfishing around Glacier National Park. We're located right in the middle of some of North America's finest fly fishing rivers, with the famous Flathead and Swan Rivers just minutes away. Wild Trout Adventures offers guiding services on these incredible rivers along with numerous permit-only mountain lakes.

We bring over 25 years of fishing experience to your Montana fly fishing excursion. Whether a seasoned veteran or a first time fly fisher, a Montana fishing experience is one to remember. Join us for a full or half day of drift boating on the Flathead or Swan river, or float tubing one of our pristine permit-only mountain lakes. The rivers offer an abundance of trout including Rainbow, Cutthroat, and Bull while the mountain lakes provide Cutthroat and Grayling. Our schedule tends to fill up quickly during the summer months so please book early.

We fly fish for any number of reasons. It may be the thrill of an angry Rainbow on the end of your line, an attempt to escape the daily grind, or just to capture the beauty of the great outdoors. Whatever the reason, Wild Trout Adventures brings you the expertise expected from a professional guiding service.

Some brief details on our destinations:

Flathead River

The Flathead River is a large western river with deep pools, wide channels and powerful runs. For the fly fishermen, the Flathead River offers a wide variety of opportunities from dry fly fishing to nymph fishing. The most common fish caught are the Westslope Cutthroat and Rainbow trout. Cutthroats are surface eaters and are caught up to 20 inches. The Rainbow is caught on both dry and nymph flies. Rainbows are commonly caught over 20 inches.

Swan River

This adventure offers the fly fisherman a complete wilderness experience; nestled in the Swan Valley the Swan River is one of Montana's most panoramic rivers. Rainbow, Westslope Cutthroat is the most often caught fish. Due to catch and release regulations for the past decade the Swan River has many great opportunities to test your skill.

Mountain Lakes

Due to the size of some of the mountain lakes, Wild Trout Adventures offers motorboats and/or float tubes as part of this adventure. Motorboats are used to arrive to certain destinations on larger lakes, once we have arrived, we will apply float tubing techniques or fish from the boat. The mountain lakes are located in the Flathead Valley and Swan Valley. Created by Glaciers, these lakes have the most pristine waters around. Natural springs and runoff feed them from the mountains, which surround them. The mountain lakes contain Cutthroat Trout, Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, Grayling , Bull Trout, Northern Pike, Salmon, Kamaloops-Rainbow Trout, and Large Mouth Bass.
