Linehan Outfitting’s Kootenai River Lodge is situated on eight acres in Libby, Montana. Its big, green lawns roll right to the bank of the Kootenai River, providing a glorious setting to enjoy an evening cocktail. The Lodge has four bedrooms and two baths with a spacious living/dining room, and it’s a great space for your family or small group to base from while fishing or hunting with Linehan Outfitting. The Kootenai River Lodge is fully furnished and tastefully appointed to provide all the comforts of home.
Meals:
Linehan Outfitting is committed to making sure that our guests feel welcome and cared for, and that they are surprised and delighted at every turn. This commitment is best expressed by Joanne Linehan herself, who prepares the lunches or in some cases all of the meals for guests who come for a stay. It is no exaggeration to say that folks come to Linehan Outfitting for the fishing, but they come back for Joanne’s cooking. Her skill and care in the kitchen, along with her warmth and ready smile, make Joanne a beloved fixture here. Her food, however, speaks for itself: Joanne is decidedly among the best and most accomplished chefs in the destination sporting industry. For over twenty years she has been nourishing Linehan Outfitting guests with innovative meals and fresh, locally grown organic ingredients.
Alcohol:
Water and non-alcoholic beverages are provided. Guests will need to bring their alcoholic beverages of choice. We encourage guests to bring their own, if desired.
Linehan Outfitting takes great pride in feeding its guests well! Start your day with a hearty breakfast, served either continental buffet or plated. Guests will either rendezvous with guides at the Anglers Hut or be picked up at the lodge each morning at 8 AM. From there guests will enjoy a full day of fishing. Linehan Outfitting has approximately forty-five miles of fishable water on the Kootenai River. Generally, guests will float between five and ten miles a day. A picnic lunch on the river is served between 12 and 1 PM and guests are returned to the lodge no later than 6 PM. Once back at the lodge there should be plenty of time for a shower before cocktails and dinner at 7–7:30PM.
*Please note that this itinerary is subject to change.
The Kootenai River is primarily a rainbow trout fishery. Mountain whitefish, westslope cutthroat, and bull trout are also caught throughout the trip. Guests spend most of their time fishing dry flies. That said, guides are happy to nymph or pull streamers anytime as well and both are effective means of having a good day.
