About Us:

Deep in the woods of remote Northwest Montana, in between Glacier National Park and the Bob Marshall Wilderness, is a place where fish and wildlife reign. Here, cutthroat trout attack flies with a vengeance. Large animals leave tracks in every direction. And humans, far outnumbered, share the adventure experience of a lifetime. In the heart of this sportsmen's paradise is a renowned Montana fly fishing lodge that sits on a butte overlooking one of the most pristine, secluded rivers on earth. This is Spotted Bear Ranch. There's no place on earth like it.

What makes us unique:

Located far from civilization in the heart of the Flathead National Forest, our vast and stunning million acre stomping grounds includes the Bob Marshall and Great Bear Wilderness. This rugged territory provides one of the best habitats in North America for trophy-class elk, deer, and black bear.

About our trips:

No matter which of our Montana hunts you choose — big game bow hunt, wilderness bugle elk hunt, or spring black bear hunt — there are several things we can promise. Clean, comfortable accommodations. Friendly, professional guides with vast local experience. Excellent home cooked meals. As much solitude as you want. An honest opportunity at a true trophy animal. And an experience you’ll never forget.

Our history:

If these log walls could talk, our Lodge could tell some amazing tales. For generations, guests have sat in club chairs in our trophy room and regaled each other with stories of their day. They often continue around the fire pit outside and on through a splendid, hearty dinner served family-style in our dining room. Some could be yours, relating your adventures far off the beaten path in the mountains of Montana. Make yourself at home. The friendly, comfortable atmosphere of Spotted Bear Ranch is one reason our guests return year after year. "Our first visit to Spotted Bear Ranch was so enjoyable, we decided to return. Our second visit was even better than our first! Our guide Fred, spoiled us to no end." -Skip and Sara, Atlanta, GA
