THE SMITH RIVER STORY

Come and “Experience the Exceptional” on the Smith River float trip.

This five-day, four-night adventure ferries you through 59 miles of the pristine, blue ribbon Smith River. This winding stretch of the Smith meanders along towering limestone cliffs and national forest lands.

Our Montana-based guides are among the best and read the waters of the Smith like no other. No matter where your skills are on your journey as an angler, our guides will use their experience to provide you the best opportunity for success.

Our partners are the largest, and one of the most experienced outfitters on the Smith River. The season for Smith River float trips typically starts in early May and ends by the middle of July.

THE FISHING

The rough and rugged landscape of the Smith River is the picture-perfect backdrop for a world- class fly fishing expedition.

Within these waters flow the conditions for day after banner day of floating and fishing. Rainbow and brown trout average 13” in length, but much larger ones, from 16” to over 20”, are not uncommon, and due to the Smith’s limited access permit system, overcrowding is not an issue on this river.
