Fish It

Fishing Adventures in the Ruby Valley

The Ruby River is one of Montana’s premier wild trout rivers for fly fishing. We offer access to private ranches and the Beaverhead National Forest. Spend your days fishing the Ruby or explore the many smaller tributary streams that run through the mountains and valleys. Our full-time fly-fishing guides provide instruction, float trips, walk/wade trips, and adventures into mountain spring creeks, helping anglers of all skill levels improve their techniques.

For those who prefer to fish unguided, you’ll find them happy to help with hatch information, directions, access points, and stream reports to ensure you have a great day on the water. We are proud to support and practice catch and release fishing – so that your great catch of today can become someone’s catch of a lifetime tomorrow.

The Rivers

The Ruby Valley region offers an exceptional variety of fisheries, from small technical tributaries to broad, iconic Montana rivers. The Ruby River alone provides everything from high-country dry-fly action with multiple trout species (and even grayling) to productive tailwater sections known for strong browns and rainbows. Within easy reach of the ranch, anglers can also access the Beaverhead/Poindexter Slough for spring-creek-style wading, the Jefferson for trophy brown trout opportunities, and the legendary Madison, one of Montana’s premier blue-ribbon fisheries. Together, these waters create a diverse fishing experience where anglers can chase numbers, size, technical challenges, and even the “Ruby Grand Slam.”
