KINGFISHER EXPERIENCE
More Than Just A Flyfishing Trip
The Kingfisher Experience
The Kingfisher Experience is more than catching fish — it’s your escape into the heart of Montana. From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by comfort, connection, and the beauty of the Bighorn River. Yes, the fishing is world-class. But what guests remember most are the peaceful evenings, incredible meals, and time spent with friends and family. Whether it’s your first trout or your tenth season, Kingfisher Lodge offers something deeper — a feeling you’ll want to return to, year after year.

Kingfisher tumblers by Yeti
We’re committed to doing our part in keeping Montana’s rivers pristine. As a part of this commitment we’ve eliminated all single use plastic water bottles from our program. We’ve traded in the easy convenience of plastic water bottles for the lasting durability of branded Kingfisher tumblers by Yeti. Each angler is able to use one on the river. Lunches are served in re-usable Bento boxes. Kicking Plastic is about removing single use and short life plastic water bottles from our wheel house in favor of durable products.
