Bighorn Fly & Tackle Shop

My son-in-law and I just just completed an awesome stay at Bighorn Fly and Tackle. We took the four night three day guided float package and have to say the it was worth every cent and met every single expectation we had. Duane and Diane are the ultimate hosts. The food was excellent. The room was exactly as expected. Gail was very helpful. The fishing was outstanding! We caught more fish and bigger fish than I could have imagined. Huge 'bows and brownies! At least a half dozen times Mike and I were both fighting fish simultaneously! We have no doubt that all this was only possible because of our outstanding guide, Rob Cadle, Sergeant Major, USMC, Retired (29 years active duty), 14 years guiding full time. I will never schedule another trip to Montana if I cannot book Rob too. Mike and I plan to bring Mike's twin 16 yo daughters, both seriously hooked fly fishing novices, on our next trip. Can't wait!

Duane is the ultimate host. And cook! Made our stay on the Bighorn in May a few years back so comfortable. I highly recommend Bighorn Fly & Tackle to anyone looking for lodging on the Bighorn River, drift boat rentals (Clackacraft!), shuttle service, guide service or of course, the fly shop!

Gr8 place. Has great merch, boat rentals, awesome guides & personnel also live bait. Meals available with rooms since their is no food establishment available in the town of Ft. Smith.

We've now stayed here and fished twice, separated by about 7 years. We came back here because our first experience was wonderful, but our second time surpassed even our first. The owners/hosts, Duane and Diane are super helpful and personable. The rooms are fantastic--comfortable, newly remodeled--the food continues to be amazing, and the fishing is (and hopefully always will be) some of the best in the world. Shout-out to our guide, Rob Cadle, the best in the biz!

Absolutely amazing trip! My Dad, brother and a great friend of ours went for 3 days of fishing and 4 nights to stay. All of the staff were extremely friendly, helpful, experienced, and professional. The dinners served were excellent every evening. Gail is an absolute gem and our guides were true lovers of the game of fly fishing and put us in the fish all three days. I can't say enough good things about this establishment and their people. I will be back.
