Bighorn River fly fishing - Lake bass fishing - Waterfowling - Sleeps 2 - 8

10/10 Excellent
"Three perfect days on the Bighorn River. The Trout House is everything you'd want in a riverside base — comfortable, welcoming, and right in the heart of world-class trout water. The fishing lived up to its reputation, and the location couldn't have been better for taking in the 150th anniversary commemoration at Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument just up the road. The hosts were gracious and made us feel right at home. If you're heading to southern Montana to fish or to take in the history, this is the place to stay. We'll be back."
