We'll I've talked to my G/F's cousin who is out in Mizzoula. Some buddies and I out East are trying to plan a trip this August. I'm guessing about a week, Most likely some Fishing, some hiking, etc. I'd be up for a 3-5 day trip around one of the stretches of the flathead, and then maybe hiking Glacier National for a day or two. Although a 1-3 day and some daytrips might be good as well.
Anyone have any suggestions, this would be beginner flyfishing/ Straight fishing as most of us only have experience with straight casting.
Any suggested areas, regions, hikes or other suggested activities. I plan to get a lot of pictures too
Her cousin had suggested maybe borrowing one of his parent in laws boats or get a catamaraft (I guess its a Raft with Catamaran middle so that you can hold more weight. He said he always like to do these trips in style with steaks and such. Although I would think that its gonna be tough for us to bring a lot of items on a plane so simpler is better, and wouldn't want to make it too expensive.
FYI, He's suggesting the Flathead which basically makes the Face of Montana on the idaho boarder, afaik Glacier National is on the Montana side of the river.
Prior Experience includes a 9 day Canoe (8 days flatwater, 1 day Whitewater) trip in the Adirondacks, and a 9 day trip in Northern Maine Canoes(the Alagash and St John Rivers)... Both these trips were more about traveling than fishing, So i'd like to do something lazy in comparison.
We wouldn't do hunting, but if there are also some suggested Trap ranges that could be an option as well.
Fishing Experiences of the group is mostly flat freshwater, and plenty of Ocean fishing (Shores, Boats, East Coast and West Coast)
The priority is to have a good time with a 4-6 person group of people, we'll spend some time on the water, fish, hike, take pictures, drink, eat, and F any antelope we see
