Montana's Smith River Floats

If you've been following along for a while now, you probably saw that we drew a tag and had an opportunity to float the fabled Smith River in Montana last May. It's a sixty-one mile wilderness float with only one public access at the headwaters and one at the takeout. The Smith River starts in the mountains, flows through a thousand foot limestone canyon and spills out into the prairies. It's a float that should be on everyone's bucket list. If you don't have overnight rafting experience, don't have a boat, or want to lean on someone else's experience to get you down it, PRO can help.

Fly Fishing Day Trips on Montana's Revered Waters

There's so much classic fly fishing water in Montana that it's hard to know where to start. But PRO can certainly help. The Missouri River is never a bad choice. It is a big tailwater, known for its prolific hatches and 7,000-8,000 trout per mile. For dry fly enthusiasts, it is arguably the best dry fly fishery in the world.

The historic Blackfoot River boasts large populations of native West Slope Cutthroat trout. The Big Blackfoot meanders through one of the last truly undeveloped valleys in Montana. Plus, PRO’s North Fork Crossing sits on the bank of the North Fork of the Blackfoot River. It's the only full service fishing lodge in the famed Blackfoot Valley. 

In addition to their bread-and-butter go-to rivers, PRO fishes the Bitterroot, Clark Fork, the North Fork of the Blackfoot and many lesser known rivers and streams throughout the west.

Upland Bird Hunting for All Wild Birds

The Sharptail Lodge was built right in the middle of 150,000 + acres of private farm and ranchland that is home to some of the most prolific wild bird habitat in the USA. The lack of development and vast tracts of native grass provides perfect habitat for our native sharptail grouse.
