What's this trip about?

    Whether you’ve dreamed of Montana fly fishing for years or you’ve yet to cast for the first time, you will not be disappointed by the opportunities on Rock Creek. Four miles of private access and pristine river frontage on this freestone mountain stream boasts seven species of fish: Westslope cutthroat, rainbow, cut-bow, brown, brookie, bull and the Rocky Mountain whitefish. Rock Creek is famous for its salmonfly hatch starting in late May and lasting into July, as well as additional hatches including mayflies, golden stoneflies and caddis fly. Licensed and trained fishing guides are excited to share their professional expertise and personal passion for fishing. They go above and beyond to ensure that your fishing experience is both enjoyable and successful.

View Profile

As the world’s only Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star ranch, The Ranch at Rock Creek truly stands apart from other resorts and dude ranches. Unlike many guest ranches, they believe guests’ experiences must not be hampered by an à la carte pricing structure. The idea of a guest ranch is that you are a guest, rather than a lodger, visiting a ranch home and taking part in the same adventures and traditions the locals enjoy.

The all-inclusive ranch designation is a cornerstone of The Ranch at Rock Creek travel experience. They know guests do not want to travel to the Rocky Mountains only to forego a trail ride to a stunning vista or a guided family fly fishing adventure due to time-consuming logistical planning and excursion or cancellation costs. They offer gourmet meals, round outdoor activities program, an experienced staff and expert guides and top-of-the-the-line gear based on the idea that 6,600 acres will become your playground for the length of your stay.
