The time is NOW-Free Fishing Weekend!

Some of the best fishing of the year on Flathead Lake is happening right NOW and will continue over the nest two-three weeks!  Mackinaw are cruising in the upper water columns, hitting everything from surface trolled crank baits, to shallow sets on the downriggers, to custom made spinner baits trolled on the bottom.  There is almost NO wrong way to fish lakers right now, as long as you know WHERE the fish are.  We do, with Captains on the water every day, keeping tabs on their movements and habits.

Throw in the fact that Montana offers a Free Fishing Weekend every Fathers Day weekend, you win with awesome FREE fishing on June 15th and 16th!  Call NOW though, as we are filling boats fast.

But it is not just Flathead that is fishing good, we have been out on Little Bitterroot catching Kamloops Rainbows to over 30 inches and Kokanee Salmon to 20 inches.  And if a multi species, "you never know what is going to bite" trip sounds like fun, well Swan Lake almost never disappoints.  We typically catch three to five different species there.

Our summer is filling up fast and we would love to get you on the water, so give us a call and book your fishing adventure TODAY!

Lastly, we are once again up for nomination for the "Best Outdoor Guide" category in the Daily Interlake's "Best of the Flathead" contest, and would appreciate your nomination and then your vote!  You can follow this link to nominate-https://preview.tinyurl.com/y4fh8rx2

Thanks for choosing Howes Fishing for your charter needs, whenever and wherever you are in Montana!

Time for Spring fishing!

With the ramps open and docks in, we are now catching Lake Trout on Flathead Lake! It has been a long winter, with a fully frozen Flathead Lake (for the first time in three decades) behind us, now is the time for trophy Mackinaw.  Whether you are visiting Glacier National Park, exploring the Flathead Valley, or a long time resident, fishing Flathead Lake is a very unique experience.  Very often, we are the only boats for miles and offer a network of Charter Boat Captains unlike any other Montana fishing charter company.

We also offer jet boat fishing on the Flathead River, targeting Northern Pike, Lake Superior Whitefish and more.  Small lake fishing for Perch, Bass Kokanee Salmon and more is also something we take seriously and have the boats and fishing equipment to make your guided Montana fishing trip a success!

Give us a call or click on our "Book Now" function for an easy reservation experience.  It is time to go fishing!
