King Outfitters/Montana Medicine Lodge, Dillon, MT-July 20-26. 2025
I will be hosting a group of fly anglers in Montana again in 2025. Dates for this year’s trip are July 20-26, 2025, fishing days will be Mon, July 21-Fri, July 25 which is 6 nights/5 days fishing. We’ll be fishing with King Outfitters and their talented group of guides, whom I’ve fished with for more than 20-yrs, near Dillon, MT. In addition to the Beaverhead, Big Hole, Jefferson and Madison Rivers, there are several leases on private waters which include a spring creek.
Lodging will be at Medicine Lodge, which is 15-miles south of Dillon, a short way from the Beaverhead River. Chef Annie will be back preparing our meals, which are always one of the highlights of the trip. Equipped with an industrial size kitchen, a large dining room with ranch style seating and bar counters along the kitchen for extra room. A large covered patio with BBQ and dining area is available to relax and enjoy your surroundings. The house has three levels. There is a game room/library and laundry area in the basement.”
Cost for 2025 remains the same as 2024, $4650/per person including guided fishing for 5 full days (2 anglers per guide), 6 nights lodging and all meals at the lodge (including beer and wine). Other expenses will be airfare to Bozeman, fishing license, gratuities for guides and staff and a portion of car rental. Deposit amount is $2325.00 (50%). Deposits are non refundable within 90-days of the trip (April 21, 2024). The 50% balance will be due at the end of our trip. Due to the non-refundable time frame, travel insurance is strongly recommended. It will take the stress out of any last minute cancellation. It is available through Travelguard at this link, www.travelguard.com .
