Our River Rules
Big Hole Lodge practices catch-and-release fishing on every river we guide. Pinched barbs are required, and we stop fishing when water temperatures climb above 68°F to protect fish health, whether or not the state has posted a restriction.
Save Wild Trout
Working to engage everyone who values wild trout and healthy rivers in developing science-based solutions that address cold-water fisheries declines and protect these resources for future generations.
Save Wild Trout is a growing coalition of anglers, river advocates, concerned citizens, businesses, guides, and outfitters. Our mission is simple: to protect wild trout for the benefit of all.
We’re organizing and pooling resources to immediately investigate SW Montana’s wild trout population collapse, and generating awareness about core issues impacting cold-water fisheries and healthy rivers.
When you support Save Wild Trout, you’re joining a diverse group investing in putting boots on the ground, retaining experts, and advocating science-based solutions critical to restoring and conserving wild trout, starting in Montana.
We must take action to protect these valuable resources and our outdoor heritage for future generations.
