The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

I will be in Whitefish for a few days in mid July and was interested in trying some local waters. Small streams with small fish are ok. I have never been to these parts before. Just looking for a casual fish with my 8 yr old daughter. Email me if ya dont wanna spill your secrets here. Cacitup <insert the @ here> yahoo.com

I'd recommend the Swan River, east of Flathead Lake or perhaps the SF of the Flathead near Hungry Horse, where it flows out of Hungry Horse Lake. If you're feeling hard-core, drive the length of HH lake and fish the SF Flathead where it comes out of The Bob and flows into the lake, but that's quite a haul, 50+ miles on a dirt road. You also might look at the NF Flathead near the western border of Glacier NP. be sure to take a trip into Glacier! That place is positively beautiful.
