When I looked up the Flathead online, I found out there are north, middle and south forks of the river, but all are north of Flathead lake. The portion I saw was simply listed as the Flathead River. Would be fun to fish it, too! |

I had run across that article bill conner sent along while researching whether or not to take my canoe along. Glad I didn't this trip but would really enjoy getting back out there to do some fishing. It's been a while. I agree with you......some incredible country out there! Safe travels.....Mike |

The Flathead River is on the left south running thru Flathead Indian Reservation and north splitting from the Middle Brach near Hungry Horse relatively slow and twisty, Glacier NP on the right side. Drove HY 2 along Middle Fork Flathead River last June. sns, when Cathy and I were there first week of June the water was very high and fast. The few rafters we watched "experienced whitewater folks." and quite brave. mpeebles, if or when ya go stop for a pizza and brew at Highlander Brew Missoula +++++! Taking a canoe will get interesting, most of the Rockies states have Aquatic Invasive Species Network inspection stations on regular travel routes, and do require canoe inspections. butthead |

In a past life I've fished the Yellowstone area on several occasions and really miss it. However, I've never fished further north than on the Madison near Ennis, MT. I have a nephew in Missoula who could get me going up in that neck of the woods. Thanks for the reminder..........Mike |
