Fishing

There is a place in Montana called Triple Creek Ranch and it is a perfect fly fishing vacation spot. Their (website gives a beautiful look at what fly fishing in Montana can be like.) This great spot is located in the heart of Montana, in the Bitterroot Mountains. It offers a variety of fishing, but one of their most popular deals is their four-night "Mini Fly Fishing School" package for a fixed fee per couple.

They have certified instructors on hand, who will start by covering:

• The set-up of your rod

• Basic entomology (study of bugs)


• Tying knots

You also need to know:

• Casting


• Reading the water


• Mending the line


• The right way to catch-and-release techniques


• Fishing on the river

For example, at Triple Creek Ranch guests can float fish the river all day with an instructor who gives them tips on fly fishing. Then on subsequent days they may go fly fishing on their own, or they may ask for more tips from the instructors and guides. In Montana you can also just go and enjoy the river and the beautiful scenery that surrounds you - just sit back and take in the relaxing view from the rustic cabin you'll be staying in for your vacation.
