It’s already been said, Rick, but thank you again for your efforts putting together such a great trip. All the planets lined up; guides, weather, fishing, etc. to make it so. We also had a collegial group that made the trip fun. Everything went smoothly, and everyone had success. Have a good rest of summer, and maybe we’ll run into each other on the water.

Rock Creek is a special treat, permits are required, and they limit boat traffic. The other days will be on Clark Fork, Blackfoot, Bitterroot, or Georgetown Lake. Whatever is fishing the best or one of the rivers you want to make sure you fish.

Your day will start with a good breakfast. The guides will pick us up around 7:30 to 8:30 am depending on the conditions. Your guide will get you back to the lodging around 5 pm.
