By air into Schafer meadows or by foot into Granite Creek, these are the only two ways to get into the wilderness where the adventure begins, dependent on water levels and your trip dates.
Few outfitters can offer a life-changing fly fishing experience deep in the legendary Montana backcountry. Glacier Anglers is one of them.
Hidden away in the Great Bear Wilderness and accessible only by plane, foot or horseback, the Upper Middle Fork of the Flathead River is one of North America’s most pristine waterways. Glacier Anglers is fortunate to be the exclusive Montana river outfitter permitted to fish its waters.
Sleep under the stars, eat richly, bask in backcountry scenery and spend five unforgettable days catching fish after fish from one of the healthiest populations of native westslope cutthroat trout in the world.
Join us in the Great Bear Wilderness for a Montana fly fishing experience you will treasure for a lifetime.
