Private Waters
The Ruby River - The Ruby is a teriffic, small meadow river. Lilly and Kemph use several sections of the Lower Ruby.
Alber’s Spring Creek - This is another very challenging spring creek. Lilly & Kemph have exclusive use of this creek.
The South Boulder River - This small meadow stream is a tributary of the Jefferson River and because it is kept cool by many fresh water springs you will find some fine mid summer dry fly fishing with attractor dries and hoppers.
The Gund Ranch - For a number of years Lilly & Kemph have worked with a good friend, Dennis Rehse, manager of this ranch to put clients onto some of the largest rainbows, brook trout and brown trout in Montana. The ranch has three spring ponds ranging in size from a couple of acres to eleven acres.
Circle 3 Ranch - Lilly & Kemph Outfitting are proud to be the exclusive outfitter on this ranch. There is a beautiful spring creek and several miles of the famous Beaverhead River available to us between Dillon and Twin Bridges. The Circle 3 is a testament to what is possible when you marry fishing, hunting and agriculture. You have a chance at a trophy trout here in a gorgeous Montana ranch setting.

Wheat Ranch-Harris Wheat is a 4th generation rancher who controls several miles of the lower Beaverhead which is not floatable for guided anglers. We can however wade fish this very lovely piece of water. Additionally there is a side channel of a mile that fishes much like a spring creek. For those anglers who enjoy a few hours on a still water fishery this ranch has a small lake with very large rainbow trout.
Morse Land co.-Late in the summer of 2011 we were approached about leasing the fishing rights on this very large ranch in the Ruby Valley. We discovered some hidden gems on this property only five minutes driving time from Healing Waters Lodge. There are several miles of the Lower Ruby River, a short section of Leonard Slough (spring creek), miles of Mill Creek which is a terrific small meadow stream loaded with nice brown trout and a small pond for the still water folks.
Konen Ranch-The Lower Beaverhead north of Dillon offers some very good meadow stream fishing but is little touched because it is not floatable on a practical basis. The distance from put in to take out makes too long of a day for most anglers. At Healing Waters Lodge we have access to miles of the Lower Beav through the Konen ranch.
Parson's Slough-Our very good friend and client, Terry McClinch developed the highly successful Circle 3 spring creek. He is now rehabing one of the major rainbow spawning tributaries to the Jefferson River, Parson's Slough. We will have access in 2013 to two miles of this beautiful spring creek.
All private water fishing does require a rod fee for each angler. Prices very between $100 and $150 per rod per day.
