horseback fishing trips

Browsing Riding and Fly Fishing

Fly fishing and horseback riding often go well together. The best places for both sports are beautiful, wild and unspoiled areas with clean water and air. A fly fishing lodge in a wilderness setting can make an ideal riding center as well. The Equitours headquarters at the Bitterroot Ranch in remote, northwest Wyoming is a prime example with a private stream full of wild trout running through the center of the ranch. Anglers can often fish all day without seeing ANYONE. The main focus of Equitours is obviously riding so most of the guests come for that leaving the river for the few who are dedicated fishermen.

Often a great advantage about a fly fishing lodge with riding is when a husband and wife team want to vacation together, but he wants to fish and she wants to ride. It works even better when one or both of them want to combine the two sports. This can also help sooth sore riding muscles for those not used to spending all day in the saddle. Many anglers who enjoy riding find a horse a convenient way to reach remote spots. There are stocked ponds on the ranch as well where occasionally novice fishermen want to have a try at the sport. They are sometimes so impressed by how dedicated fly fishermen often are that they want to have a shot at it themselves.

Philosophically there are strong similarities in fly fishing and riding. Both require intense concentration, leaving no room for other thoughts. Both also require an intimate  interaction between two living creatures. Fishing has a huge atavistic appeal from the days when we had a hunter/gatherer society. The fish are released unharmed these days, but the challenge is still there. Some don’t realize they had that instinct until they feel a fish on the other end of the line. Riding entered our scene more recently of course, but was quickly embraced by our culture as a way to enormously enhance one’s speed and strength with a willing partner.

The Bitterroot Ranch is the most convenient place to combine riding and fly fishing but another place for both is the Okavango Delta where the mighty tiger fish abound. These are perhaps the toughest fighters of all freshwater fish and worthy opponents for anyone. Good streams for trout and salmon are also to be found near all our rides in Ireland . Mozambique , near the southern tip of Africa, has a thousand miles of sparsely populated beaches and reefs near where the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic meet offering some of the best fishing in the world. It rivals Cabo San Lucas in Mexico.

Wilderness Horseback Adventures with Colorado Outfitters

Wilderness pack-in horseback trips.

For those interested in spending some time in the backcountry and seeing more of the beauty the Mount Zirkel Wilderness has to offer, we do multi-day horseback trips into the Wilderness Area. Ideally, interested parties should plan on a day packing in and a day packing out with a minimum of two to three days in the backcountry. On these trips, you’ll see wildlife, wild flowers, and scenic lakes. Riding the continental divide is also a possibility depending on weather.

A typical day will start off with fresh perked coffee and a hearty hot breakfast while the horses are gathered the for the day’s ride. Sack lunches and plenty of snacks will be provided. We’ll then head out for the day’s ride and adventures. Evenings include relaxing around a campfire while dinner is prepared. After dinner activities can include going for a walk and glassing for wildlife, photographing spectacular sunsets or just enjoying the campfire!

Typically, we will run these trips out of our backcountry camps which includes wall tents, cots with foam pads, chairs, and woodstove. We also do pack trips where we go from camp to camp. No matter what your interests are on backcountry horseback adventure, please call us and we’ll put together a trip for you.

Bob Marshall Wilderness Outfitter

Fly Fishing Trips

We offer world class fly fishing trips into the wild heart of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Come fish the legendary South Fork of the Flathead River and White River and experience an iconic Montana fly fishing experience.

Bob Marshall Wilderness Fly Fishing Trip Itinerary

The first day of the trip you will arrive at the Holland Lake Trailhead or Meadow Creek Trailhead, depending on where we are starting off the trip. Once we meet you, we will introduce you to your horse and get your saddle adjusted to your individual needs. We will show you a few tips on how to ride and direct your horse and try to have everyone on the trail by 8:30am. The ride to Holbrook basecamp is 25 miles from Meadow Creek Trailhead and 28 miles from Holland Lake Trailhead.

Once at camp you can cool down with fresh mountain spring water, enjoy some appetizers, read a book in the shade of the camp hammock, toss some horseshoes or get settled into your wall tent and then freshen up for a home cooked dinner around our long family-style table in the cook tent.

Wake up to fresh coffee and homemade breakfast. Pack a lunch for your outing later that day. Begin your fishing adventure with a short walk from camp down to the Southfork of the Flathead River or walk the banks of the White River for a taste of the world-class fishing you will experience while in the Bob Marshall Wilderness.

The rest of the trip will be tailored to your interests and can include:

• A day ride to the largest lake in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, Big Salmon Lake, where you can fish, swim or even paddle around on one of our inflatable paddle boards.
• Our experienced guides can lead you on horseback up or down the South Fork of the Flathead or along the White River to find great fishing holes.
• A day float on a small one-person raft that we pack up river to the Bartlett Creek area for you to float and fish your way back to Holbrook
• A day float from Holbrook downriver to Big or Little Salmon creeks, where we will meet up with a horse and a pack animal to bring you back to camp.

Once back at camp, we will serve you appetizers and a family-style dinner. After dinner you can sit around the campfire and listen to stories and toast s’mores in the firelight.

We have an early breakfast and pack up all of your gear and prepare for the ride back to the trailhead. We normally arrive at the trailhead around mid-afternoon. We always love to see your pictures, so please send them to us so we can share them on our sites.

Testimonials

What a fabulously memorable trip!!! My husband, two daughters ages 12 & 14 and I recently took a week long trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness with the assistance of 406 Wilderness Outfitters. As a family, we spend a fair share of time enjoying the outdoors of Montana. I can honestly say, this was the most memorable and seamless of all trips thanks to the unique and family- friendly service the Cheff’s provide.      

When I was looking for a great trip and adventure for my 40th birthday, I knew that I wanted something special and unique. A Montana wilderness trip with my college buddies was something that I always dreamed about. 406 Wilderness Outfitters and the Cheff family created an awesome experience for my group in the Bob Marshall wilderness. The experience was a once in lifetime, some of the best views and landscapes that this country has to offer. 406 Wilderness Outfitters helped me check this off my bucket list.

Operating in the Bob Marshall Wilderness since 1932.

Guided Trips

Swan Mountain Outfitters is a premier full service horseback based Montana Outfitter. Although we do offer an un-guided drop camp service, we really feel that guided is the way to go! Going guided offers an increased measure of safety and resources at your back, and allows you to tap into the guide’s knowledge of the horses, the landscape, and the flora and fauna you’ll encounter. Every trip is unique, as guides can tailor the experience to the best fit of the group.

Our guides are knowledgeable and experienced in their crafts, but also hold certifications in first aid, CPR, and may boast other training pertinent to the class of adventure you seek. We employ friendly and compassionate people who seek to make you feel safe and at home on your trip with us. They are committed to delivering the best possible experience for you.

Guided trips

• Hunting (fall, winter, spring)
• Horseback Pack Trips (summer)
• Fishing (spring, summer, fall)
• Trail rides (spring, summer, fall)

All of our ungulate hunts are fair chase. Our hunting areas support a number of ungulate populations and we are able to guide hunts for elk , mule deer , and whitetail deer . You can choose archery or rifle, or both. You can choose multiple species too. We can access areas in the Swan Valley as well as gain access to the Bob Marshall Wilderness. We can use a base camp to hunt out of as well as place spike camps closer to habitats. Most of our hunts combine horseback riding and hiking to stalk elk and deer, but whitetail hunters may opt for a tree stand too.

We can even guide moose and mountain goat hunts to those hunters fortunate enough to draw special permits in the Bob Marshall Wilderness or Swan Valley of Montana.

Bear and Lion

We have guided black bear hunts in the Swan Valley in both the fall and the spring. Uniquely colored bears in brown, cinnamon, blonde, and chocolate are found frequently in our area. We have a unique ability to use horses on our black bear hunts, if desired. All bear hunting in Montana is spot and stalk and the use of dogs or baiting is not allowed.

Mountain lion hunts do utilize dogs to scent and tree the lions. Our houndsmen guide in some of the best lion hunting districts in the state. We have under Flathead National Forest and Swan River State Forest more mountain lion hunting permits than any other northwest Montana outfitter.

Having guided many guests into the wilderness on horseback, we know that most want: access to real wilderness, surefooted horses, a comfortable camp, good food, and an itinerary that is active and fun but not too demanding. We pride ourselves on providing an authentic backcountry experience that meets these demands. Pack trips are great for families, groups or friends that like to vacation together as beginners and advanced riders alike can enjoy the adventure.

We operate our Montana Pack Trips out of wilderness ‘base camps’ for 3-day , 5-day , or 6-day trips. We venture out in a different direction from camp each day exploring different parts of “The Bob” and we return to the same location each evening. After a full day of activities you’ll return to the comfort of your own wall tent and hearty meals prepared by the camp cook. There’s even a hot outback shower! Nestled at the edge of the Bob Marshall Wilderness, the Lion Creek upper camp for our back country pack trips provides an unparalleled setting for an authentic Montana horseback riding adventure.

We’ve got all aspects of Montana fly fishing at its best! Don’t know how to fly fish? You can spin cast too, or learn how to fly fish from our skilled guides in one of our fly fishing clinics .

There are several approaches we can to fishing. You can float down the Swan River for a day or overnight fishing experience. You can go on foot to fish from shorelines and wade into the shallow water. You can even ride a horse for a day or overnight fishing adventure. The Swan Valley has ample fishing opportunities.

Want to level up your fishing with a multiday fly fishing adventure into the Bob Marshall Wildness? We’ll take the basic format of our horseback pack trip and put a fishing focus on it. We’ll use our savvy trail horses to access pristine alpine lakes with native trout species and have ample time out of the saddle to cast to our hearts content.

Trail riding

New to horses or short on time? For whatever reason you may not be ready for a wilderness pack trip, but can still enjoy a trail ride . Our quick two-hour trail ride may be just the ticket. We also have half day and full rides which feature a picnic lunch at a scenic rest stop. Swan Mountain Outfitters is the largest horseback outfitter in the northwest, so if we don’t have what you need at our beautiful and secluded Swan Valley location, we can direct you towards a multitude of 1 hour to 8 hour trail rides in Glacier National Park .

Guided Pack Trips

Summer fishing/horseback trips.

Our summer trips go into the Flattops Wilderness area near Devil’s Causeway and the China Wall (8-11,000 ft.). It offers spectacular mountain scenery, alpine meadows with abundant wildflowers, a wide variety of birds and wildlife and many lakes and streams with lots of native trout.

Experience the beauty and splendor of northwestern Colorado. Our pack trips and trail rides will take you into remote wilderness areas. You can photograph unbelievable scenery and observe wildlife in its natural state … or just relax and enjoy the blue skies and starry nights of Colorado. These horseback adventures will provide a lifetime of memories.

We will make every effort to arrange a summer pack trip for you that will fit your desired dates.

Our summer wilderness pack or pack fishing trips and our trail rides are designed for people and/or families who really want to get away from it all and experience the beauty and tranquility of nature’s high country playgrounds. The vegetation and wild-life are unequaled, fishing is excellent, meals are superb and the entire trip is fun for all.

Flattops Wilderness Area

This is one of Colorado’s true wilderness areas. It’s located in the southern section of the Routt National Forest at elevations that range from 8,000 to over 11,000 feet. No motorized vehicles of any kind are allowed in wilderness areas. Travel is by foot or on horseback. Day temperatures range from 70 to 95 degrees, while nights are chilly, with temperatures averaging between 30 and 50 degrees. Rain showers and thunderstorms are common and occasionally, we experience hail or a snowstorm. We go prepared for it all.

A leisurely two-hour horseback ride from the trailhead brings you to our base camp. It’s nestled among the pines next to a clear, mountain stream. Days consist of riding (or hiking) to Devils Causeway or China Wall, to one of the mountain lakes, or to one of the larger streams for picnicking or fishing. You can just sit around camp and kick back, pitch horseshoesand fish right from camp. Evenings we like to relax – sitting around an open campfire and watching the heavens so full of stars and oh… so close.

Fishing is very good – primarily Cutthroat Trout, a few Brook Trout and an occasional Golden Trout – up to 3 lbs. – flies and worms work best (some lures).

We provide:

• Fishing gear
• Cook/mess tent (but we often eat outdoors)
• Sleeping tents with cots.
• A quality, well-rounded menu is planned and prepared for you by our camp cook.

You provide:

• Personal gear
• Fishing gear if personal gear is your preference
• High quality rain gear
• Sleeping bag
• Colorado fishing license

Overnight – 3 meals (depart 10AM return noon next day) $750 per person

• 3 day $2,000 per person
• 4 day $2,500 per person
• 5 day $3,000 per person

Customized trips can be scheduled to fit your group’s needs.

We do not allow alcohol consumption while on the trail – only in camp after the day’s travel and horses have been put out to graze. Clients supply their own alcoholic beverages.

Reservations

When you have selected the trip and the dates of your choice, contact us to make your reservation. Fifty percent of your fee is required as a deposit and no reservation will be held without deposit. The balance of your fee may be paid by money order, travelers check or cash. It is due prior to departing for camp. All bookings are confirmed with a written contract signed by both parties.

4 Fantastic Fishing Trips For Kids

F or adults of a certain age, the thought of a family fishing trip might evoke memories of Andy Griffth walking along with a young Ron Howard.  Whistling as they strolled through the pines, headed off for a relaxing day on the lake just outside of quaint Mayberry, North Carolina.  In an effort to recreate this idyllic scene, you may even be tempted to pack up your family and strike out for the town in hopes of creating your own bonding time, much like Andy and Opie.  

The trip would be much shorter than most Californians would assume, as the scene was actually filmed in Franklin Canyon, a man-made reservoir turned recreation area just outside of Los Angeles.  Franklin Canyon is gorgeous, and while it is well worth a visit, you’re more likely to run into the Rolling Stones shooting an album cover than you are a father/son duo from a black and white 1960s television show.  

Before you rush off to create your own family fishing adventure, spend the time choosing the most important part….the destination!  We’ve put together several great locations spread around the country to help families sink their hooks into their own opening credit-worthy outing.

Park City, Utah – The Lodge at Blue Sky 

There is no shortage of people who consider Utah the Promised Land, both figuratively and literally.  The rivers that formed the Martian landscape as they snaked through the desert are teeming with wading opportunities every angler will love.  Who knows, maybe the great fishing was the true reason for Brigham Young’s cross-country trek!

The Fishing

 Ok, let’s get to the meat and potatoes of the trip.  The fishing.

The Lodge at Blue Sky , part of the Auberge Resorts collection, has a flawless reputation in the fishing tourism industry, and with great reason. Their partnership with a local guide service provides the local knowledge you need to land a photo-worthy target fish.  It’s no wonder fishermen from around the globe flock to their locations.  They’ve put together some great packages for families to choose from based on goals and time constraints.  All of their trip options provide the necessary gear, waders, and transportation for a successful day on the water. 

Half-Day Wading Trip

There are two destination choices for a half-day wading trip. The Provo River (25-minute drive) and the Weber River (10-minute drive).  This is a great chance for a beginner fly fisherman to learn the basics of rod rigging, casting, basic knots, and fly tying, as well as the great diversity of trout species.  The whole trip takes roughly 3-4 hours, and all participants must be at least eight years of age .  Auberge also offers a full-day wading trip which travels further out to private property and includes lunch.  Offering a chance to further refine your family’s skills under the expert tutelage of your guide.

High Alpine Driftboat Trip

Families looking for a little more adventure will love this family fishing trip.  After a scenic 1 hour drive through the mountains, you will arrive at your destination.  A private reservoir tucked away in privacy.  Spend 6 hours with your guide as you target the elusive Cutthroat Trout. If ever you had the opportunity to land one, this is it.  This trip will last an entire day (6 hours) with a Max of 2 guests per boat and also has a minimum age of eight .

Heli-Fishing Trip

You came here for the ultimate fishing experience, right?  Well, here it is.  Board a private helicopter right at the Blue Sky Lodge and enjoy a scenic flight high in the Uintas Mountains.  After touching down in a remote mountain meadow, guests make the trek to isolated lakes and streams.  Here, they can try their hand in some of the least worked waters available besides experienced guides.  Before heading back, take the opportunity to enjoy a rustic lunch by the lake and let the experience sink in.  This trip lasts 4 hours and has an 8-guest max.

Gracies Farm

When Blue Sky first arrived, they found a beautiful landscape, excellent for artistic inspiration but ill-suited for farming.  The soil was hard-packed, over-grazed, and lacking essential nutrients.  Enter Blue Sky and their sustainable farming guru Lynsey Gammon.  A self-described ‘farmher,’ Gammon and her team of fellow farmhers have worked hard in pursuit of a successful grow operation without sacrificing their love of the soil.  You won’t see tractors pacing along straight lines for hours on end or sprayers misting fertilizer and pesticides in alternating increasing dosages.  Her all-natural approach has created an oasis of fertility and provides produce at the on-site farmers market from June-October.

Families wanting to add a little farm experience to their fishing trip can visit Gracies Farm on Tuesdays at 10:00 am. The farm offers a free 30-minute walking tour to all guests of the lodge.  This complimentary tour is an opportunity to learn more about their passion for sustainable farming.  If you don’t know the difference between a caterpillar tunnel and a high tunnel, this is a perfect introduction to a local small-scale farm.  If you’re looking to get a little more in-depth, maybe you’re a gardener yourself, then a private tour may be more your speed. Ask all the questions you’d like on a 90-minute guided tour to transform your garden back home.

Little Vaqueros Camp

All parents traveling with kids have been there.  You’re away with the family on vacation and put together a much-needed day of wine tasting or fly-fishing for the adults, but struggle to shake that feeling of guilt for leaving the kids behind.  Blue Sky has found just the solution with their Little Vaqueros Camp.

Each day of the week is themed to provide a full day of activities with a focus on engaging young minds, bodies, and senses with nature.  Counselors take kids ages 5-12 outside for adventure-based activities to learn about the local environment, history, and culture.  While the adults are enjoying their time away, the young ones are learning the basics of fishing, horse care, cooking, farming, mining, and even yoga.  Kids won’t be in a rush to leave by the end of the day. 

The camp runs each day from 9:30 am to 3 pm with a provided lunch break from 11-12. Morning sessions of camp are complimentary. Afternoon sessions are an additional cost.  Full-day campers can enjoy a complimentary meal from the children’s menu. 

Orlando, Florida – Lake Tohopekaliga

Yes, it is a mouthful.  The name dates back to the Seminole Indians who once lived around the lake and gave it the name.  Tohopekaliga is Seminole for “We will gather here,” but the locals refer to it simply as Lake Toho or West Lake to differentiate it from the nearby East Tohopekaliga.  

Lake Toho, just outside Orlando, is considered one of the finest Bass fishing hotspots in the country, best known for the record catch set (with a five-fish limit) in the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society contest that came in at a total of a whopping 45 pounds 2 oz. 

For those of you who have never fished Bass before, a 10-pound lunker is entering trophy fish territory.  The Florida Wildlife Commission performed a study of the lake that showed an average of one bass over 10 pounds for every 10 acres of lake.  With numbers like that, you begin to understand why this 23,000 Acre lake is so productive.  That’s a mind-boggling 2,300 wall-worthy bass!

Why is Lake Toho home to so many monster fish?  The lake is fairly shallow, with a maximum depth of about 13 Feet. Providing ample acreage for the grass flats that Bass shelter in during the summer months when the water temperature rises. 

Freshwater fishing brings in billions of dollars each year for the state, so it is a priority for them to manage the health of the lakes.  This includes opening up the dam to allow large drawdowns in the Lake level to allow for man-made droughts to help control invasive plant species and ensure healthy algae levels.

AJ’s Orlando Bass Guide

AJ’s Orlando Bass Guides team of full-time fishing guides will ensure a successful and safe day out on the water.  How well do they know the Lake? The company is run by two fishermen, who also happen to hold the Lake records for the largest, and second-largest fish.  One of which weighed an incredible 16 lb. 10 oz!

Freshwater Tours

They offer several varying length trip options from 2.5 hrs up to a full day of 8+ hours.  They recommend the 2.5-hour trip for families traveling with kids or for those short on time. 

All of their trips include the necessary gear and tackle for the conditions of the day.  A day on the Lake with the kids can be a great way to break up a hectic trip to Disney.  Just don’t be surprised when the kids rave about the fishing to the family back home and forget all about the Magic Kingdom.

Saltwater Tours

If you’re looking to head out on the ocean to cast a line, Aj’s still has you covered.  They offer 4,6 and 8 hour trips that leave at first light.  The tours head out to either Cape Canaveral or Mosquito Lagoon on the east central coast and have a maximum of 4 guests.  An added perk of Saltwater fishing in Florida is the lack of a Saltwater fishing license requirement.

Wild Willy’s Airboat Tours

Yeah, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, which is pretty cool.  Not sending communications by mail is nice, but you know what is even cooler? Airboats.  Who would’ve guessed that the guy who gave us the telephone was also capable of making something as inarguably cool as airboats?  Thanks Mr. Bell!

Picture your family loudly zipping across the shallow water, dodging marshy shorelines and alligators while looking like the coolest cats in town.  Have you ever seen someone on an airboat that wasn’t happy? No.

Wild Willy’s Airboat will guide your family around Lake Toho on one of his two Airboats depending on the group size.  One-hour smooth flying tours leave throughout the day.  Make sure to book an earlier trip if you’re worried about the midday Florida heat.  Most riders are surprised at just how smooth the ride in an airboat is. Even those prone to motion sickness are pleasantly surprised. 

There is no minimum age restriction , with kids as young as three months having enjoyed the trip.  Willy himself is a nature enthusiast and enjoys pointing out the Gators, Bald Eagles, and Snail Kites that call the Lake Home.  Don’t be surprised when he stops the boat to hop in the water and bring a creature up close for the kids to get a better look.  At the conclusion of your trip, take the opportunity to check out the animals on their property, including the chance to hold their two young alligators, Thunder and Half Stripe!

Where to stay near Lake Toho

Odds are this whole area would mostly be a swamp if not for the legendary House of Mouse.  Whether you intend on popping into the park to pay respect on your trip or not, the Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge makes a great base for your trip to Florida. A short drive to both Lake Toho and a plethora of theme parks, this resort features a stockpile of family-oriented activities in a fun atmosphere. 

Hakuna Matata Playground

Hakuna Matata, it’s a wonderful phrase and a wonderful playground.  Hotel stays with kids can go sideways fast.  The jumping from bed to bed and the bouncing off the walls can leave parents feeling crazed and worried about bothering the neighbors.  Having a playground on-site to take kids that are being…..well, kids, can feel like a miracle.  

The Hakuna Matata playground isn’t groundbreaking. It looks much like most playgrounds.  With two separate large features sized appropriately for their age groups.  There are various activities, such as a xylophone, a maze, and some speaking tubes.  The area is thoughtfully well-shaded to reduce the heat throughout the day, and the rubber mulch provides excellent drainage after the ever-present Florida rain showers.  Much like Yoda, don’t judge this amenity by its size.

Movies Under the Stars

Each night of the week, there is an outdoor movie available for guests of the lodge.  Luckily, Disney has no shortage of movie rights, and they are able to keep a fresh inventory in circulation.  The location of the movie is shared between the Hakuna Matata playground and the Pembe Savannah overlook.  Here is a handy site for checking the movie schedule, as well as a few extra tips for making the most of the evening activities.  The movies start at 8:30, which can be pretty late for the young ones, so you may want to consider putting on the pajamas before the opening credits. 

Montauk, New York – Deep Sea Fishing

We’ve looked at some dream destination fishing trips for kids, but we’ve been mostly hanging out inland.  Where can we go if we want to add a little salt to our lives? Montauk, New York, claims to hold more fishing records than any other port in the world! Is it true? I have no idea, but I do know this beautiful location is a highly productive sport fishing hotspot.

Montauk is located at the tip of Long Island and formed by the same glacial retreat that gave us Cape Cod and the Islands.  The sun, surf, and tourists should leave many West Coast travelers feeling right at home.  Let’s look at some great options for a family in Montauk.

Susie E II Charter Fishing

Capt. Burt Prince and his crew are ready to take families out on the waves to enjoy some of the finest sport fishing available.  The 48’ Susie E II is well equipped to carry up to 33 passengers out into the waters off Long Island.  Equipped for both inshore trips and long offshore days, the Susie II features the latest technology to ensure a successful day, as well as keep your family safe regardless of what the ocean throws your way.  

Susie E II Sportfishing offers several fishing packages that vary with target species as well as length of day and group size.  Their rates are based on a 6 passenger group, but they can accommodate larger groups for an additional fee.  Each trip includes top notch tackle and bait, as well as the Ice to keep the catch fresh.  Speaking of catch, their crew will clean and bag the keepers as families reel them in.  They will even handle camera duty so everyone can be in the pictures and parents can focus on savoring the moment and enjoying the day.

Cod Fishing trips

Cod might be the most popular fish in the Atlantic, but chasing it is not for the weak.  Peak season for Cod runs from December – April, which can lead to some frosty days.  Cod trips are a long day on the water, with the boat leaving the dock between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. and returning 12 hours later.  Fighting Cod on light tackle is a wonderful way to spend the day, and the hearty family willing to take on the adventure are often rewarded with dozens of pounds of fresh fish to take home.

Shark Fishing

Everyone who has seen the movie Jaws knows sharks are the undeniable king of the ocean.  Their history predates trees by 100 million years and Dinosaurs by an additional hundred.  Seeing them in the wild can be a magical experience from the safety of a boat.  The powerful creatures are a favorite target species for fishermen looking for a worthy opponent.  

The water off Montauk predominantly features Blue, Mako, and Thresher Sharks.  These fantastic beasts will provide families with a workout that is as hard as it is exciting.  Imagine hooking a Mako shark, able to reach speeds up to 50 mph, and battling him back to the boat as he launches himself 20’ in the air.  Or you can tango with a Thresher shark and their long powerful tail, which earned them the nickname ‘sea bull.  Some of these Threshers will leave your family working for hours to finally get the 300-pound monster on board.   If you thought that speckled trout gave you a fight, imagine one of these creatures tugging on your rod and reel!  Old tradition holds you should kiss the first fish you catch for good luck. Maybe best to skip that on this trip, though!

We’ve put together great locations around the country for families looking to sink their hooks into fantastic fishing trips for kids.

Deep Hollow Ranch

You don’t want to travel all the way to Montauk and not explore some of the scenic beaches.  What better way to travel the sandy shore than horseback?  Deep Hollow Ranch offers tours as rich in history as they are in natural beauty.  

With options for the whole family, a stop at Deep Hollow will give everyone the chance to travel like a true cowboy.  Tours leave throughout the day 7 days a week, be sure to reserve early as tours can fill up fast.  

The 1.5 hr option is restricted to ages eight and above .  Guides teach visitors about the history of Long Island and give them the opportunity to travel along the waves.  For families looking for a more condensed option, there is a 30-minute tour that allows children over six that is also an excellent choice for beginners.  The little members of the family need not worry about being left out.  Pony rides run for several hours in mid-day for children five and under .

Where to stay in Montauk

Montauk is a long way from the West Coast.  After all that travel you’re sure to be a little weary and in search of a haven for relaxing with the family.  The Roudtree Amagansett will check all the boxes on your list.  Peace and luxury in a warm family-friendly atmosphere.  

Roundtree offers the opportunity to conveniently explore all the activities packed into the tip of Long Island.  Their ‘Signature Experiences’ service allows parents to sit back while they plan their day trips for you.  Let them put together a full day for the family with activities ranging from yoga and baking classes to tee times and massages.  They can even set parents up with a babysitting service and send them off on a tour of the area vineyards.  

As part of their family-friendly atmosphere, each night, there is a campfire providing equal parts smores and songs.  During the day, their beach shack is loaded with enough sand toys to keep the kids entertained on the beach for hours on end.  The Roundtree Amagansett’s convenient location and family-friendly personality make it a great option for your Montauk fishing vacation. 

McCall, Idaho – Shore Lodge

Every state is known for something. Florida has Disney, California has Hollywood, and New York has busy businessmen filling the sidewalks.  To many, Idaho is known as the land of potatoes, and it’s infamous 3-way tie for the state that most resembles a gun.  But fishermen around the country know the hidden truth about Idaho. It has hundreds of miles of deep rivers teeming with lots of fish.  Like good fishing spots around the world, spreading the word at the speed of a whisper has left many areas of Idaho largely uninterrupted.  

High on the bucket list of any serious angler is the steelhead.  Often mistaken for a salmon, the steelhead is actually a member of the trout family, though much larger than most of their smaller cousins.  Anyone lucky enough to land a steelhead likely has a tale to tell.  As these powerful fish are pound for pound the hardest fighting species coming out of our freshwaters.  They use their speed to spool out a fishing line, launching themselves above the surface several times in a display that is equal parts terrifying and beautiful.  

Sure, you’ve fished Spanish Mackerel off the Outer Banks and Mahi Mahi in Hawaii, but you know the key to a memorable day in a new fishing spot is a top-notch guide service.

Idaho Steelhead Guides

At some point in the timeline of their hobby, every outdoor sportsman has an entry-level existential crisis.  How can they love the land and still take joy in activities like hunting and fishing?  Over time, the outdoorsman adds techniques to their craft that ensure the species they admire can not only survive but flourish.  At Idaho Steelhead Guides , they not only strive to provide quality time for the entire family on the water but to do so ethically in a way that will preserve their waters for future generations.  Or, in wildlife conservationist Aldo Leopold’s words, “We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” 

Idaho Steelhead guides not only boasts of their several dozen years of experience on these waters, but they are also members of the ‘Keep em’ wet,’ the ‘Leave No Trace’, and the ‘Idaho River United’ initiatives.  So you can rest assured your whole experience will be as ethical as it is bountiful.

Single Day Trips

Their single-day trip options are perfect for families interested in adding a fly fishing trip to their family vacation.  The trips begin at dawn, and kids of all ages will have a great time soaking in the beautiful scenery as they float down the river in one of the crew’s several float options.  Tackle, rods, live bait, lunch, and life jackets are all provided by the team and included in their fee.  

Get those steelheads! © Shore Lodge

Multi-Day Trips

These trips are perfect for the high adventure family with short attention spans looking to spend five days catching lots of fishing and making memories.  You’ll spend the majority of the trip fishing, unburdened with cooking, gear transport,ing and planning that can often bog down long family fishing trips.  Imagine waking up in a private backcountry campsite, sliding into your waders at dawn by the light of the campfire, and setting off on the private charter.  

There are some Class IV rapids along the river, so you may want to wait a few years until the younger kids have a few more years under their belts.  The seasoned guides will safely navigate the rapids for you. Around mid-day, you may even see crew members leapfrog your boat off to set up the next campsite prior to your arrival.  

Where to Stay in McCall

Here’s a riddle.  What has 77 guest rooms, 5,500’ of elevation, and is conveniently located just 90 minutes outside of Boise?  If you guessed the Shore Lodge , congratulations, you are correct.  Shore Lodge is located right on Payette Lake, and its 5,000 acres of deep freshwater is filled with all types of fish.  Shore is the perfect place to take the young anglers in your life to get them out on the water.

Shore Lodge offers several room options.  Families traveling with young kids may find it helpful to have direct outdoor access to let them stretch their legs without corralling them down the hallway.  The Lake Front Suites offer immediate access to the lake with a private seating area in the room and an outdoor patio just outside the door.

In the colder months, kids will enjoy a hot fire after a long day of snowshoeing or snowmobiling on nearby Brundage Mountain.  Their Fireside Suites contain a fireplace in the comfort of the living room, with a dining table and a private outdoor terrace.  The Fireside Suites are available with king or double queen bed options.

Shore Lodge prides itself on being a 4 season destination.  They make it a point to offer year-round activities for everyone.  Whether you’re enjoying a parent’s getaway or you’ve got a gaggle of young children tagging along, they’ve got you covered. 

Brundage Mountain

In the winter months, the proximity to Brundage Mountain pays off.  Here, guests can enjoy miles of snowshoeing and snowmobiling trails.  Hire a guide, and explore the snow-covered landscape or rent snowshoes to show the kids you’re still top dog.

Steelhead Guides

Come Spring, it’s the perfect time to book a kids’ fishing charter with Idaho Steelhead Guides.  If you aren’t afraid of getting wet, this is a great time of year to try on a rafting trip and learn why Idaho has earned the nickname “The Whitewater State.”  Take a trip down ‘Hell’s Canyon,’ the deepest gorge in North America.
