Montana Riverfront Resort Fort Smith, Montana

Details & Features

Located along one of the most iconic trout streams in the world, this legendary Montana fly fishing ranch was built, owned, and operated by the same family for over 30 years. Montana Riverfront Resort is a special opportunity to own a fully established, turn-key fly fishing and upland bird hunting destination in the heart of South-Central Montana. Set along the pristine Bighorn River—just five minutes from the launch point below Yellowtail Dam—the lodge offers immediate access to a classic tailwater fishery, famous for its cold, clear water and prolific populations of rainbow and brown trout. The river remains ice-free in the winter and stable in the heat of summer, making it a year-round fly fishing paradise. In addition to the river itself, guests can explore nearby Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area and Yellowtail Reservoir, both offering outstanding boating, fishing, and sightseeing opportunities. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Bighorn and Pryor Mountain ranges, this Montana fly fishing ranch blends outdoor adventure with longstanding hospitality and a respected sporting legacy—making it one of the finest recreational properties in the American West.
