FreshwaterFort Smith, Montana — Bighorn River near the Afterbay Dam put-in
Seven log guest cabins and a main lodge sit above the Bighorn River at Fort Smith, Montana, a quarter mile from the Afterbay Dam put-in, with guided drift-boat and wade trips for wild brown and rainbow trout. Fishing packages cover guides, meals, flies and gear, and the kitchen will cook a fish you keep. Horseback trips to a backcountry camp in Wyoming's Cloud Peak Wilderness are the way to brook, cutthroat and golden trout, and the resort also runs upland bird and waterfowl hunts and fall cast-and-blast days.
Year-round
The Bighorn is a tailwater and fishes all year, with Trico and blue-winged olive hatches from late summer into fall. Cast-and-blast trips, fishing paired with waterfowl or upland birds, run from September to December.
First is the fish the lodge leads with.
