Montana Fly Fishing & Bird Hunting

Brought to you by Eagle Nest Lodge

good fishing….good food….great hosts  Rod S.

What a great time again.  John and Rebecca are an incredible team, and run a wonderful lodge.  The accomodations, food, and quality of the guides help make this a repeat trip.  Only complaint is portion size of food.  However, to be clear, the food is quite good.  Paul P.  Washington

The fishing is as always great, river was at about 7800 — the bs session after a day of fishing is always fun with the other customers and the guides.  Greg M.

Best lodge ever!

The best lodge ever, nice, knowledgeable hosts, with a kind demeanor.  I’ve been on many trips all over the world and this was the best!  Steve J.

Patient guides.

The hosts were excellent and enthusiastic.  Food great.  Lodge beautiful and rustic.  No TV thank goodness.  But the best thing was that there were lots of trout on the river and the guides were great!  Very patient with someone of my meager skills.  Lewis B.
