Floating

It’s getting hot and sunny in western Montana and one surefire way to cool off is to jump in the river.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks are contemplating whether or not changes need to be made when it comes to river recreation on the West Fork and Upper Bitterroot.

Thieves have been striking vehicles at Missoula Fishing Access Sites and it happened again this past weekend.

Water flows are flowing less than half the volume normally seen on the Clark Fork River waterways in Missoula and they are putting a huge damper on river recreation, including floating and kayaking--even surfing for some in western Montana.

Where are the best places to float the Clark Fork River? Where are the safe launch points to load and unload your floats or drift boats? Thanks to our friends at King Fisher Fly Shop, we have a few recommendations to help you enjoy the most of what this exciting river has to offer, including maps!

After a lawsuits, new warning signs and a lot of public discussion, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has decided to reopen a section of the Bitterroot River to floaters today, July 7.

The Independence Day weekend will  be hot and dry, sending hundreds of people to Western Montana rivers to cool off by boating, swimming or floating.

On Sunday, a six year-old girl drowned in a tragic accident on the Bitterroot River, when the boat she was riding in with her father capsized.
