The lake trout, or Mackinaw, are the predominant species of fish in Flathead Lake. We troll for them using a combination of downriggers and long lines.

All anglers 12 years old and over must have a valid Montana fishing license. Licences are available online at https://fwp.mt.gov/buyandapply/fishinglicenses, or at local retailers. Included in that purchase will be a Montana conservation license, and an Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) pass. Monies from the AIS fee go towards helping to keep our pristine Montana waters free of such critters as Zebra and Quaga mussels, Eurasian Millfoil, and other detrimental invaders.

We provide nearly everything you need for your Flathead Lake fishing experience, including all rods and tackle, life vests, snacks water and pops. We suggest you bring sunscreen of the lotion type. The spray types make the boat deck very slippery, and contaminate bait and tackle with foreign odors. If you bring the spray type of sunscreen, we ask simply that you apply it before we load up. Sunglasses and a hat are always a good idea too. We do not provide rain gear, though you can take cover under the canopy or in the forward cabin. Any snacks of your own, For full day trips, we recommend bringing a simple lunch. Due to logistical issues, we are no longer able to provide lunches on full day trips.

Of course! That’s why you go fishing! All fish between 30″ and 36″ must be released.

We have a small camping style porta-potty in the cabin for emergencies. There is a restroom at the launch as well which we would encourage everyone to use before we leave the dock.. We are also usually within a reasonable distance of one of several state parks with restroom facilities.
