Fishing in Glacier National Park

Over two million people enjoy visiting beautiful Glacier Park every year.
Many who camp at our campsites, enjoy hiking to our crystal clear mountain streams to fish. There is wonderful fishing from the North Fork and Middle Fork of the Flathead Rivers. For those who want to look closer at the fantastic scenery of the Park, there are over 50 different lakes. Many of these lakes will require a hike of 4 to 6 miles.
We certainly can not guarantee what the fish will be biting on. But when you choose to hike there, you will enjoy the trip. There are sights and vistas that you will never forget. You will find native species of trout, such as cutthroat, lake trout and bull trout. These streams are only stocked with types of fish that are native to this area.

Please consider, catching and throwing back, and perhaps using barb less hooks. It's better to pack a camera out with pictures of the big ones you caught, than to tempt a hungry bear into following the scent of fresh caught fish. And them bears do have a sharp nose.

Fly Fishing Glacier Park

For any hike, it would be wise to check in with a Park Ranger concerning the bear activity, or for snow conditions. Occasionally a trail has to be closed temporarily due to bears or heavy snow. Many lakes can not be reached until mid July due to snow.
We suggest, when ever you go hiking, be sure to carry bug spray, as mosquitoes may be a problem and can certainly make your day unpleasant.

	Glacier National Park is located in the northwest corner of Montana, just north of Columbia Falls. The park encompasses more than one million acres and is home to grizzly bear, moose, elk, along with 63 varieties of wild mammals. While most of the roads in Glacier National Park are closed off during the winter, this provides miles and miles of tracks for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. Visitors are seldom around in the dead of winter, so the muffled hush of the snow covered woods is especially enticing and serene. A ski or snowshoe trip along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, which is one of the most scenic roads in North America, is a great option, according to park rangers. The road is closed to cars from September or October until snowmelt, usually in June. Several short hiking trails branch off from the road, which would be excellent for snowshoeing or skiing in the winter season. Once you have your gear, head up to Glacier National Park for an exciting adventure. Guided snowshoe trips are available, led by a park naturalist, and are highly recommended. If you are looking for an informative tour, snowshoeing is an easy way to explore the winter wonderland of this unique park. Snowshoeing will provide even the novice an effortless activity so your senses are more in tune with your environment and your guide's knowledge on the history, wildlife, geology, and biology of this precious ecosystem.
