What a day on Flathead lake. I released 10 fish and also kept 10. The top picture is a Bull Trout…read more A native species of Flathead Lake the fish must be returned to its waters. Which was accomplished after reviving the fish by rushing water through its gills. I doubt that I will ever experience a day of fishing like this again in my life. This was my 6th trip with Howe's fishing. I have never caught less then three fish. In fact Captain Cameron and I have caught 8, 12, 16 and today 20 fish on our last 4 trips. Howe's might be a little more expensive then other charter companies in the Flathead Valle. They have the best captains, fishing gear, boats then ANYONE else. "Don't step over a dollar to pick up a quarter", the same goes to fishing. Trust me, pictures do not lie.

Went home with two gallon ziploc bags stuffed with fillets on only a 4hr charter. The boats were great for cover out of the bad weather; even a heater on board. Would do it again anytime.

Bill is extremely knowledgable of the area; how the lake, mountains and islands came to be, wildlife etc, plus his personality made this a true local experience (he has been doing this for 20 yrs!). We wanted to see the lake, the wild horses and do some hiking without large crowds or hassle and we got it here plus some.He even took us to see some Tribal markings and told us the history behind it - incredible. My fiancé and I hiked for hours on the secluded Wild Horse Island and saw bucks, bald eagles, doe, sheep, rams and of course gorgeous wild horses!! The fact that we were the only people on the island was a plus, all animals roaming free and no people. This was truly a wonderful experience that I'am excited to tell you about - you will not be disappointed. Go See Bill!

From out of town. We did a half day charter. 4 hours. Captain was pleasant. Lake was glassy and we…read morewere the only boat on the lake. We had a blast but it wasn't what I expected. Trolling real slow the whole time. The captain hooks the fish and hands you the pole. Not real fishing. I am an experienced fisherman. When asked if he could take us near the visible island the reply was the owner didn't like spending money on gas. So all in all on a huge lake, we fished pretty close to the Marina. Caught some small lake trout. Set expectations before you pay the 600.00 plus tip plus license.

We're not even experienced fishermen, but Mike made sure we had an amazing day and caught beautiful fish-- even a coveted Bull Trout (28in)! Bigfork is an amazing and special place, but our trip was without a doubt enhanced by Mike's experience and guidance on the lake. His prices for full/half day trips are super fair and competitive with any other charters on the lake. He is very welcoming and works super hard to ensure everyone in your party (young and old) has a great time. I would recommend Captain Mike's services to anyone planning a trip to Montana.
