Though I did not have…read morethe opportunity to fish in this world renowned fly fisher's haven, I did however have the honor of staying in the hunter's cabin on the ranch for two amazing nights. Justin and Judy are incredibly kind and giving individuals, and their passion for the land is manifested through their dialogue, and that simple look of absolute adoration they both bear. Being from California, I am not accustomed to seeing such a great mass of land and understanding that it is managed and maintained by a few honest people. Though I cannot possibly fathom what drive and dedication it takes to care for the ranch and creek, I do however know, without a doubt, that when it comes to Yelp, five stars is an understatement.

From the owner: Our world famous spring creek is one of the most sought after destinations by fly fishermen…read moreanywhere in the world. With over 1.5 miles of fishable riffles, runs, and pools, the spring creek is a classic trout stream offering great dry fly, nymphing and even streamer water. Spring creek fishing is like nothing else in fly fishing. Consistent cold temperatures create an ecological niche for insect hatches that feed a healthy trout population in a clear riffle-and-pool creek meant for wading. The challenge of sight fishing to large and wary trout is something that must be experienced by every trout fisherman.

Day 1 was with Matt and Day 2 we were with Jarrett. They were both fantastic and couldn't imagine being taken care of any better! We learned so much. The fishing was fantastic and are already planning next years trip! Nate is extremely professional and his attention to detail made the trip completely hassle free!

I've brought with me guests that are experienced anglers and complete novices. They never batted an eye and were able to put everyone on fish regardless of the angler or the conditions, and even trained someone while on the boat who had never held a fly rod before. Additionally the shop crew is stellar. I've popped in prior to some self-guided wade trips on the Gallatin and beyond and each time the've been super helpful and given me the flies I need to get the fish to eat.

Ignore Google Maps when it warns you that part of the road here is unpaved for the last leg of the…read moredrive. It's actually recently paved, so you have a smooth ride to the parking lot! The path to the waterfall is also paved with asphalt so it's a smooth walk up and great for strollers. There are two vault toilets at the parking lot, and a small picnic area near the entrance of the parking lot. This is an amazing waterfall. Water cascades down a columnar basalt face so it's particularly stunning. I've seen amazing columnar basalt formations (Devils Tower, Devils Postpile), but none with a water element. It's very memorable. I saw some people trying to scramble up the rocks to get to the top of the waterfall, but I'm not sure how safe that is. From satellite photos it looks like there's just forest up there anyways.

The ride there is a bit intense with many curves so I'd recommend to take a bag for those that may get car sick. I'll be coming back to Montana, just for this beauty!

Calvin made the whole experience fun, relaxing, and educational -- we caught multiple fish, learned a ton, and had great conversation along the way.

Ended up pairing 1 kid + 1 adult + 1 guide. The guides were patient and fun with them all. They adjusted the teaching based on skill level and age. Our expectations were low (because fishing is fickle), but everyone had success catching multiple fish - even the littles! Taryn and Jake were my immediate family's guides and they were amazingly knowledgeable about the area / how to fish it, silly with the kids, and easy to talk to. We really appreciated the experience - it was one of our favorite activities during our Big Sky visit. Thanks again! FYI if you have kids under 10 you'll want to bring your own waders for them - easy to buy on Amazon!

An Unforgettable Rafting Experience for Our Entire Family!…read more We had an incredible day on the river rafting trip with Flying Pig! Our group of 17 family members--ranging in age and experience--was warmly welcomed and exceptionally well taken care of. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, organized, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, while still delivering an exciting, adventure-packed trip down the river. The guides were not only knowledgeable about the rapids and safety, but also shared fun facts about the area and kept everyone engaged and laughing the whole time. Coordinating a large group isn't easy, but they handled it flawlessly. Everything ran smoothly, from check-in to the ride back. It truly felt like they went above and beyond to ensure we all had a fantastic experience. One unexpected bonus--they took beautiful action photos throughout the trip! It was amazing to relive the adventure through such high-quality shots, especially since we were too busy paddling and having fun to worry about capturing the moment ourselves. If you're looking for a professional, fun, and family-friendly rafting company--look no further. We'll definitely be back!
