Current ConditionsWe finally received some much-needed rain, and after a few days of water too high to fish safely, we are back at it and back in the swing of things. |
Join us as we travel west to one of the finest trout fisheries in the continental United States for an unforgettable week of first-class fly fishing. Our destination is the legendary waters surrounding Ennis, Montana—where the sign entering town famously reads: Population 660 people, 11,000,000 trout. This area is home to some of the most storied trout rivers in the West and offers classic big-sky Montana scenery at every turn.
We will be staying at Rainbow Valley Lodge, a premier fly-fishing lodge perfectly situated along the Madison River. The lodge provides exceptional access to world-class water, comfortable accommodations, and a welcoming atmosphere that has made it a favorite among traveling anglers for decades. It serves as an ideal home base for exploring the region’s legendary rivers and nearby spring creeks.
We have been leading hosted trips to this destination for more than fifteen years and have personally fished these waters since the 1980s. That long-standing experience ensures thoughtful planning, insider knowledge, and a seamless fishing experience from start to finish. Each day offers a new opportunity on iconic stretches of river known for prolific hatches, strong wild trout, and unforgettable dry-fly fishing.
Your hosts will be experienced DRO guides who will help lead you through a true Western fly-fishing experience, offering instruction, strategy, and support throughout the week. In addition, professional guides from O’Dell Creek Fly Shop will accompany the group for three of the days, providing local expertise and ensuring every angler gets the most out of their time on the water.
This trip is ideal for anglers seeking exceptional fishing, expert guidance, and the camaraderie that comes from sharing legendary waters and evenings at the lodge with fellow fly fishers. Whether this is your first visit to Montana or a return to familiar waters, this is a chance to experience one of the great trout destinations in the world—done right.
