Photos like those make me want to get my fishing pole out! I’ve never fished the lower Flathead River but it looks like a good place to wet a hook.

Most of the lower Flathead is on the Reservation and has mostly pike from what I understand. The very bottom part of several miles just above where it joins the Clark Fork has pike and bass, but also some pretty nice cutthroat.
There is some good news here lately too. They recently completed a 7 $Million fish ladder at the dam at Thompson Falls, about 25 miles down stream from here and already they have had some fairly large Rainbows using it. Some of them will certainly move up into the Clark Fork and likely into the lower Flathead as well.

I really enjoy trout river fishing, just me the rod and some gorgeous trout.

I love river fishing too. This area should be getting better now that it has pretty much recovered from Whirling Disease that devastated the trout population a dozen or so years ago.

Thanks! I wonder what those reflections look like today. I notice that the river here has now gotten high and muddy from the recent rains.

Delightful! These are wonderful reflection shots. I am going to see if I can figure out what all the trees are.

This is my favorite river for reflections. The water itself has a green tint.

Yesterday I saw an old man in a canoe on the pond in a marsh near here and that made me want to go with him!

It is on the Indian Reservation, where there are many such places where people haven’t tampered much with the natural settings. I find them great to visit.

OMG, how beautiful. The place seems to be right place for fishing and to stroll around. In last photo, I admired the rock formation, very interesting.

It is a very nice place for both, Sartenada. There are no people around but lots of wildlife and waterfowl. I really do enjoy this Indian Reservation. I pay for an annual conservation license and that allows me to hike there as much as I wish. Its size is 1.3 million acres, so there is plenty of room to hike.

The valleys are greening up very nicely, but there is still considerable avalanche danger above 5000 feet.
