If you were as enchanted as I was by the 1992 film, A River Runs Through it, in which the character of Older Norman says ‘In my family, there was no clear division between religion and fly fishing,” then pack your bags and head for the 320 Guest Ranch, a historic property situated along two miles of the famed Gallatin River, location of the well-loved film and one of the world’s Top Five trout streams, near Big Sky, Montana. In fact, the Gallatin runs literally a few feet from a dozen River Cabins on the ranch. Here fly fishers need only to pull on their waders and walk into some of the best trout fishing on earth. Begun in 1898, the 320 Guest Ranch offers 87 sleeping rooms within 59 luxurious and modern cabin accommodations, log homes and a mountain chalet. Many accommodations feature wood-burning fireplaces.
Whether fishing for the afternoon or for the weekend, an expert or first-timer, the staff at 320 Guest Ranch will provide you with everything you need for a day of casting and taking in nature's unspoiled beauty. Private fly-fishing lessons and guided fishing excursions are available with experienced instructors. To make life even easier, all equipment necessary is available right at the Ranch in their Fly-Fishing Shop - for purchase or rental. They have products ranging from Fishpond Packs, Umpqua Flies, Reel Accessories, to Sage Fly Rods. They even offer a special vacation package deal specially tailored to the needs and desires of fly fishers.
Close to world-class downhill and cross country skiing at Big Sky Resort and Moonlight Basin, 320 Guest Ranch offers a full range of seasonal recreational activities, such as horseback riding, trail hiking, rafting, sightseeing, mountain climbing, fly fishing, hayrides, sleigh rides, snowmobiling, and many more. Each night guests gather around a roaring bonfire to conclude their day, spring through fall. The property has a Steak House, with an emphasis on big game cuisine and a Saloon for after-hours relaxation.
