I ended up doing pretty well. we stayed in a cabin on Swan River. I fished from kayak on the river, caught mostly Pike. they ranged from 18-24" or so, but caught a few 30+". We ended up using classic Yellow or Red Daredevle spoons, I did take a few smaller Pike on streamers with a 6WT flyrod.
My brother in-law actually caught a 26" Rainbow on a yellow diamond spoon which was suprising especially since we were using 65LB braid, and steel leaders for the pike!
We didn't get to Trout fish too much, I ended up getting food poisoning and missed out on Flathead river fishing. the People that did go caught some 12-14" browns and a couple rainbows with terrestrials. black ants had the most success, but there were a couple fish taken with hoppers.
All in all it was a great trip, got to experience beautiful hikes, and lots of wildlife. we were within petting distance of goats and bighorn sheep, we also a few Moose. We here hoping to at least get a glimpse of a bear (from a distance of course) but missed out.
