Five Rivers Lodge
Montana Fly Fishing Adventure
As its name implies, Five Rivers Lodge is in close proximity to the Beaverhead, the Big Hole, the Ruby, the Jefferson and the Madison Rivers, each famous for the large trout that call them home. Guests enjoy miles of wading access, floats on bigger water or spectacular horseback trips to fish the high mountain lakes and streams. There is also private water directly in front of the lodge for guests who would like to get in some practice or some extra hours of fishing. Many Five Rivers’ guests have taken their personal best from this water.

Private Water & Spring Creeks
In addition to the big name rivers, there are miles of spring creeks and streams that offer a more intimate fishing experience. Both beginners and experts will enjoy fishing these waters, which receive little pressure. Each hold good numbers of trout with a variety of dispositions from picky to voracious trout that will explode on anything resembling a “hopper”.
Each section of the private water is rested (some sections are only fished once a week). The limited numbers of anglers and attention to fishing pressure insures privacy and a quality fishing experience. Five Rivers’ catch and release policy protects the wild, native trout. With access to a wide variety of private waters and blue ribbon trout streams, Five Rivers Lodge offers some of the finest fishing in the United States. All of this without the crowds usually associated with world-class fishing, except for the birds, waterfowl, wildlife and wildflowers that are abundant in this mountainous section of the Lewis & Clark Trail; so don’t forget your camera!
Experienced Guides & Flexible Scheduling
The guides at Five Rivers are experienced, hard working and excellent teachers. They all enjoy working with anglers at any level of experience or expertise. The guides also have a unique opportunity to guide during the winter months at Cinco Rios, the sister lodge to Five Rivers, in Southern Chile. These guides are willing to stay out well into the evening to fish the exceptional hatches that come off at dusk. Even staying out for that late Caddis hatch, you will never miss dinner as meals are on your schedule; Five Rivers will be happy to serve your meal whenever you return from fishing.
Lodge Accommodations
The lodge itself is an exquisite and comfortable place with extensive amenities to return to after a day of fishing. Each guest suite has two king size beds, a private bath, beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and a door leading to decks and garden areas. The living room is a great place to enjoy Five Rivers Lodge’s extensive library of fly fishing and fly tying magazines, books and videos, tie flies at their completely stocked fly tying desk, a drink and hors d’oeuvres, or discuss the days fishing. There are many other gathering areas at the lodge where anglers can wait for dinner or just relax. Five Rivers also has a hot tub available—a favorite way for guests to relax and rejuvenate for the next day of trout fishing. Please note that the Lodge’s interior, including bedrooms, is a non-smoking environment.
Non-Fishing Activities
Five Rivers Lodge offers non-fishing guests a variety of experiences to choose from. They can relax in comfort and browse Five Rivers’ extensive library, reading their choice on the porch, overlooking the Beaverhead Valley or in the hot tub. Five Rivers can arrange activities like horseback riding, hikes, panning for gold, digging for garnets and crystals, or a gourmet picnic lunch on a day trip. There are also a number of attractions in the surrounding areas like the Ghost Towns of Bannack or Virginia City and Beaverhead Natural Forest.
