Float Trips

Venture along Montana's scenic waterways.

Hidden Gem

Explore Montana's Most Famous Fisheries

Experience more miles of fishing and scenery with a guided private full or half-day float trip. Enjoy a fishing float on Rock Creek in the spring (beginning approximately late April through June 30), or explore more Montana waterways with an off-Ranch fishing excursion. Several other of Montana’s most famous fisheries are within a 30-minute to two-hour drive from The Ranch. We can arrange special excursions or float trips at an additional cost. Fishing rafts accommodate two guests and one guide, with guides required on all floats.

For off-site fishing, the destination is determined by our guide’s knowledge of current seasonal status for that location. We also choose rivers based on the guest’s ability and goals to ensure the best possible fly fishing experience for that individual.

“Floating Rock Creek is a once in a lifetime experience each spring. There is only a snapshot of time where the water flow allows us to guide here. You can spot incredible wildlife while casting across some of the best fishing waters in the world. If you visit in the spring, this is a can't miss activity. ”
