Bighorn Angler

Bighorn Angler is a lodging and fly shop operation in Fort Smith, Montana, a small settlement whose reason for existing is the tailwater beside it. The company advertises the largest selection of lodging on the river, ranging from motel style lodge rooms and deluxe rooms through cabins to full houses including the Bighorn Trout House, Riverrun House, 3 Mile Cabin, and Riverview Lodge, with nightly rates published for each. Lynnie’s Back Cast Grill runs mid March through October, serving a rotating hot breakfast and a set dinner menu of salad, entree, and dessert made fresh nightly, with allergy and gluten accommodations arranged ahead. Retail moves through an online shop carrying custom flies, rods, reels, wading gear, and clothing from Simms, Orvis, Hardy, Sage, and Loomis. Boat rentals and waterfowl hunting round out the year.
