What is Provided:

There are two ways to experience Hubbard's Lodge. The first is a guided fishing package. This includes all lodging, all meals, and all guided fishing. The second is a lodging package. This includes all lodging and all meals and activities are added a la carte. Neither of these packages include transportation, beer and wine, or guide and house gratuity. There is an accommodation tax added to every bill that is $6 per person per night. Montana has no sales tax. Hubbard's Lodge provides all gear at no charge; that includes rod and reel, waders, flies, tippet, and leader.

Gear Recommendations:

Though Hubbard's has its own Orvis Pro Shop and its guides have more than enough equipment to accommodate their guests angling needs, they welcome and encourage guests to bring and use their own fly-fishing gear. For those wishing to do so, a 9 ft. 5 wt. rod and reel with a floating line is best. U.V. and insect-resistant clothing and a pair of waders with studded soles is also highly recommended. Anglers are also advised to bring hats, a good rain jacket, and a pair of polarized sunglasses when heading out into the field.

What to Bring:

Whether you are fishing, touring, or just enjoying the beautiful Montana scenery, it is advisable to pack for all types of weather. We suggest the layering'everything from shorts to t-shirts to pants to sweatshirts. Although it is unlikely, Montana has been known to see snow every month of the year. An afternoon shower is pretty common, so include some rain gear as well. Dinner dress is always comfortable casual.

Don't forget the sunscreen, sunglasses (polarized), lip balm, and a hat is always good.

If you do happen to forget anything, our fly shop has just about anything you might need.

Season:

Hubbard's is open to guests from June to September with prime fishing starting in mid-July. Early-season guests can experience views of snow-capped peaks and a variety of wildlife, while exploring small intimate creeks and even some larger lakes and ponds for hungry and very willing trout. With midsummer comes the hatches! From the salmon fly to the infamous 'hopper hatch', guests at this time have the chance to experience some of the best dry-fly fishing in the country. Late season at Hubbard's is beautiful, with the Aspens turning gold and the bugling of bull elk rolling through the valley. This is also trophy time, with some of the biggest fish of the season coming in late August and September.

Species:

Hubbard's Yellowstone Lodge is lucky enough to offer its guests chances to catch five different species of trout! On the Yellowstone River itself an angler can expect to catch nearly anything. From the iconic Yellowstone cutthroat, to voracious silver-sided rainbows, to big bellied butter-yellow browns. There is also always a chance for a hybrid cutbow. These aggressive crossbreeds of a cutthroat and a rainbow can grow to immense sizes and are coveted by anglers looking for a real fight. All four species can be caught in Yellowstone Park as well, along with the small but incredibly beautiful brook trout in certain waters. And of course, no trip to the Paradise Valley would be complete without landing a few Mountain Whitefish which can be found and caught almost anywhere.

Region/Terrain:

Hubbard's is located in Southwestern Montana, one of the jewels of the west. It's surrounded by the Northern Rocky Mountains. Beautiful spiraling peaks dot the landscape, intermittently dotted with lush and fertile valleys and thick forests of aspen and lodge pole pines. The area surrounding the lodge is everything one imagines when they envision Montana. A favorite for wildlife enthusiasts, guests at the lodge have a chance at spotting anything and everything. From eagles, deer, and elk, to bison, wolves, and grizzly bears, you never know what's going to show up around Hubbard's!
