# Montana Fishing Lodges Round-Up *By James Hills, mantripping.com — Updated July 2023* Thinking about heading out into the wilderness for some Montana fly fishing? The Montana Office of Tourism was nice enough to help us out with a list of some of their favorite fly fishing lodges. I strongly encourage you to click on the links to check out the individual lodges. If you are anything like me, you will instantly want to whip out your checkbook and start making plans!   Each one of these lodges is different with its own personality. Most of these fishing lodges also offer access to hunting as well as more humane sports such as hiking, and in the winter snowmobiling, and cross country skiing.   ##   Guys Trip Destinations and Getaway Ideas MANTRIPPING [What to Know Before Working with a Nightlife Concierge for Your Vegas Trip](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mantripping.com%2Ftravel%2Fwhat-to-know-before-hiring-a-las-vegas-nightlife-concierge.html&id=1048&type=blog&site=mantripping) [Read More →](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mantripping.com%2Ftravel%2Fwhat-to-know-before-hiring-a-las-vegas-nightlife-concierge.html&id=1048&type=blog&site=mantripping) MANTRIPPING [12 Epic Ideas for an Awesome Dubai Guys Trip](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mantripping.com%2Ftravel%2Fepic-ideas-for-the-ultimate-guys-trip-to-dubai.html&id=1035&type=blog&site=mantripping) [Read More →](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mantripping.com%2Ftravel%2Fepic-ideas-for-the-ultimate-guys-trip-to-dubai.html&id=1035&type=blog&site=mantripping) MANTRIPPING [Five Ways We Used Cellular at Sea Cruise+ on Our Canada and New England Cruise](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mantripping.com%2Ftravel%2Fcellular-at-sea-on-norwegian-getaway-canada-and-new-england-cruise.html&id=378&type=blog&site=mantripping) [Read More →](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mantripping.com%2Ftravel%2Fcellular-at-sea-on-norwegian-getaway-canada-and-new-england-cruise.html&id=378&type=blog&site=mantripping) FLOWMEDIAMARKETING [How I Use AI to Transform Social Media Comments Into Blog Posts That Drive Traffic](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fflowmediamarketing.com%2Farticles%2Fturn-social-media-comments-into-blog-posts-with-ai.html&id=649&type=blog&site=mantripping) [Read More →](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fflowmediamarketing.com%2Farticles%2Fturn-social-media-comments-into-blog-posts-with-ai.html&id=649&type=blog&site=mantripping) CRUISEWESTCOAST [Should You Buy Cruise Ship Wi-Fi?

Fishing the Wise, Big Hole and Beaverhead. Not only does it offer superior access to trout packed streams, but there is also the Old Works golf course. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, people sometimes refer to it as the "Finest golf course ever built on a Super Fund site". The land formerly housed a copper smelting facility and many of the bunkers are filled with black slag - instead of the more traditional white sand.
