Full Day Trip – Big Hole River

Big Hole River

VERIFIED

I had two incredible days on the Big Hole with LaMont Carter, couldn't ask for a better guide! Lots of fish to the boat both days, including several over 19 inches. If you're thinking about fishing the Big Hole, think FishTales and LaMont. You won't be disappointed.

The water was high high and fast, the wind troublesome but the browns and bows were large healthy and great fighters. The guide worked endlessly to match the nymphs with the fish's choices.
