 Tom Smith's Backcountry Angler Montana fly fishing lodge in Dillon is in close proximity to some of  the most famous Southwestern trout streams the lower 48 have to offer: the Beaverhead River, the Big Hole River, the Madison River, and the Ruby River. Our rivers are legendary and your experience will be also. Come Join us!

    Our cottonwood, evergreen and willow lined streams produce prolific hatches of Caddis flies, Mayflies, Stoneflies, Salmon flies, and Midges as well as Terrestrials. Come test your  fly fishing skills against truly wild trout.

Our select staff of professional guides can ensure a quality experience while fishing on our famous waters for truly wild trout. We cater to the experienced as well as the intermediate or novice angler. Float fishing is the most productive method to fish our blue ribbon streams. Your guide with years of expertise will position the boat to give you the best possible cast into the finest holding water. You will also wade fish the most productive runs and riffles. Float trips are accentuated by a tasty streamside lunch. For the best trout fishing adventure we suggest our 5 day/6 night package.

April, May and October can be great fishing while enjoying a solitary experience. However, storms are possible. In the spring hungry trout come alive with the warming waters. The spring can be some of the best fishing of the year with early Caddis, Mayfly, and Stonefly hatches .  October is the time that the big Brown trout get more aggressive and the cottonwood trees change into brilliant colors. It is a special time to fish our waters and watch the native wildlife.

One of the most often asked questions is: When is the best time to fish in Montana? The answer is "Whenever you can get here." We are fortunate to have numerous waters to chose from and usually point our rigs towards the rivers that are fishing the best. We start fishing in early April and fish through the end of October.

Backcountry Angler's River Lodge is located within a stone throw of the Beaverhead River near Dillon, Montana. Southwestern Montana is widely known as one of the great fishing destinations in the Rocky Mountain West. Most fishing is for Browns and Rainbows on the rivers. However, there are also Cutthroats, Brook Trout and Grayling in the area we fish. The excitement of a wild trout hitting your fly - and the test of wills that follow - is an unforgettable experience in a truly beautiful setting. This cozy Rocky Mountain style lodge was built by Tom and Mary Smith. The location and comfortable style that they choose for the lodge was based on a lifetime of guiding fly fishermen. Every detail has been carefully thought out to give you a wonderful time away from your day to day life. It is a special place that you will want to enjoy with family and friends year after year after year. Do you remember your feelings when you are on a beautiful stream with your fly rod in hand - a strike hits - the beauty of the fish caught - the gentle release back its own habitat -  looking around at all the scenery of the hills, mountains, trees, and sagebrush - listening to the rush of the water - the stillness of the stream. Life is too short and too hectic to let these moments escape even for a year. Treat yourself to the beauty of nature and a wonderful time away from your day-to-day existence. We anticipate hearing from you and sharing with you a Montana fly fishing trip.
