Camping:
Camp out in the renowned Montana wilderness. There are designated camp areas along the river, the chosen site depends on the availability and how far you float each day. Tents, sleeping bags, and sleeping pads are provided on the trip. Each Angler may have their own tent if they choose. These camps not only allow us to fish more remote waters, but also more of the outdoors wilderness experience is enjoyed.
Food & Drink:
Guides wear many hats on a given day, including trip chef. Meals are a special occasion because they allow them to showcase their culinary talents. There is a gear boat that will float ahead of the group to begin setting up the next camp. The guides will provide all meals including cooking you a delicious dinner every night. Some menu items include steak, chicken, and salmon.
Water, coffee, and tea are provided. If you want something else, you are welcome to bring your own non-alcoholic and/or alcoholic beverages for the trip. There are grocery stores, gas stations, and liquor stores on the way to West Glacier. Glacier Outdoor Center has a limited selection of beer and wine in the retail store. Glass bottles are not allowed.

You will travel up North Fork Road, where you will begin your journey down the river. Lunch is served sometime between 11:30am and 12:30pm. You will spend your day on the river, fly fishing and floating to the first campsite. Later in the afternoon, you will arrive at your camp alongside the river and set up camp for the night. The guides will cook you a delicious dinner. Some menu items include steak, chicken, and salmon. Spend your evening enjoying the company of your crew swapping stories by the campfire.
