Trip Itinerary
Days 1-7: Wilderness Fly Fishing Arrive in Kalispell, MT (via Delta or Northwest - arrive on Friday or early Saturday afternoon). (Please plan to make your own airfare plans as ticket prices can fluctuate throughout the year.)
Salmon Forks Outfitters will meet you on Saturday and take you to the Diamond R Lodge, where you will stay your first night. After your gear is dropped off, drive about 60 miles to the lodge, where you will spend a restful afternoon. You will get a great meal before settling in for the evening in small, but clean cabins.
On Sunday you will rise early, have a full breakfast and drive the 10 or 12 miles to the trailhead. There you will be assigned your horse for the week, and if all goes well, be on the trail by 8:30am. The trail ride is approximately 7.5 hours to the Salmon Forks campsite on the Southfork of the Flathead River. There is no getting around it, riding a horse for 7.5 hours is a pain, but if you want to visit beautiful country, and get away from people and civilization, this is the trip for you.
You’ll arrive in camp about 4:00pm. You can take a river bath, fish, have a beer, or just relax as Janis and Mark prepare dinner. It’s usually steaks with all the fixin’s.
On Monday thru Friday, there is no schedule. You can fish, read a book, sleep, hike, or horseback ride. The purpose of this week is to lose yourself in the beauty of the wilderness, and catch a lot of fish, which you will do.
On Saturday morning, Salmon Forks Outfitters will pack up and make the 7.5-hour ride back to the trailhead. You’ll then be transported back to a motel, have dinner and get some sleep.
On Sunday you can catch a flight out of Kalispell.
