North Fork Crossing Lodge - 4 Anglers for 3 Days & Nights

Valued at $11,000

 

A FLY FISHING LODGE LIKE NO OTHER ON THE BLACKFOOT RIVER

 

Experience crisp, bright mornings that dissolve into warm, lingering Montana afternoons. It’s the fly fishing experience that inspired Norman Maclean’s acclaimed book: A River Runs Through It. Lush fishing, meandering waters and seasoned guides.

 

North Fork Crossing Lodge itself is perched on the North Fork of the Blackfoot River just outside the town of Ovando, Montana. We feature a signature mix of intimate outdoor experience and comfort. Our unique tent cabins were designed to provide the comforts of a full service lodge without losing the intimate connection to nature that camping can provide. Replete with wood floors, custom feather beds, heat, electricity and a private bathhouse.

 

The main lodge features a lounge and dining area overlooking five artesian-fed stocked ponds, perfect for evening fishing. Surrounded by the Blackfoot River Valley, remote and lush with large populations of native West Slope Cutthroat Trout.

 

Eventgroove and Pro Outfitters are donating three days and three nights for four guests in Fall of 2023 or the 2024 season based on availability at this Orvis Endorsed lodge on the beautiful Blackfoot River.

 

Trip does not include airfare, ground transportation, licenses or gratuities.

OMTU Story

 

Here is a video that was made by OMTU members back in 1999.  It tells about the mission of OMTU and some of the past projects that we have worked on as a chapter.  The narrator of the video, Paul Anderson, recently passed away so we decided to post this video in his honor.  The projects that we have worked on over the years may have changed, but the mission remains the same.
