The Big Hole - Where Trout Rise and Time Slows.
Beginning high in the Beaverhead Mountains near Skinner Lake, the Big Hole River flows through wide valleys and beneath the Pioneer Mountains, offering one of the most scenic and diverse fisheries in Montana. From its clear, cold headwaters to its winding lower stretches, the river supports a rich variety of wild trout and seasonal hatches. Anglers will find everything from gentle meadow waters to steep canyons and faster runs.
Whether you're wading a quiet bend or floating a longer section, the Big Hole offers both challenge and calm. For guests of Healing Waters Lodge, it’s more than a great place to fish—it’s a place to reset, recharge, and experience the quiet beauty of the Montana outdoors.
