Go see Ben Eisinger at True Water Fly Shop. Listen to episode 1 of the Destination Trout Podcast to get the low down and the Bro Deal. Ben and Jamey discuss fly fishing on the Clark Fork River and the main stem of the Flathead River. The convince of the Sherman Lodge make this fishing destination about as simple as it gets. Listen in for an easy and fun fly fishing trip. 

The Clark Fork is one of Montana’s longest rivers and also one of its biggest comeback stories. Saved from the mining pollution that once devastated fish numbers, Clark Fork River fishing now thrives. Memories of its polluted past, though, still deter many anglers from giving it a second chance.

Another Montana river that’s not as busy as it should be, the Flathead starts in the Canadian Rockies, where it is fed by snow and glacial melt. This keeps the river cool and its fish perky, even on the hotter days in the prime summer months. The perfect alternative when other Montana waters are feeling the heat.

It’s home to westslope cutthroat trout and rainbow trout, and many of them aren’t choosy about the flies that come their way, making the Flathead ideal for fly fishers of all abilities.

Let Jamey talk you through how to plan your trip to catch a westslope cutthroat trout
