Float Trips

Your fly fishing float trip begins with a morning departure, when our guides load specialized river floaters with all necessary gear, including Simms waders and premium fly rods for those who prefer to leave their personal gear at home. As your raft glides silently downstream, you’ll cast to rising trout while surrounded by breathtaking wilderness. The rhythm of the river creates perfect opportunities for active fishing and peaceful observation.

Your float trip is a lesson in reading and appreciating water, where miles of untouched forestry unfold alongside Montana’s diverse aquatic ecosystems. Here, the natural world comes alive around you as you drift through riparian corridors alongside the potential of moose wading through backwater eddies and underneath eagles returning to their nests high above.

Your Montana float trip isn’t complete without a shore lunch, featuring locally-sourced ingredients and panoramic views.

After your float trip, let the adventure continue the next day with one of The Ranch’s included signature activities.

Join our wranglers for a morning horseback ride through scenic trails suitable for riders of all experience levels. Or, take in the beauty of the wildflower-filled hills and forested peaks while exploring over 20 miles of hiking paths. Those eager to perfect their fly fishing skills can do so with private access to Rock Creek, where seven species of fish await.

Whether conquering new experiences on horseback, on foot, or with the cast of your rod, each activity complements your float trip experience and deepens your connection to Montana’s untamed wilderness.
