Multi-Lodge Stays

Fish more than one kind of Montana water on a single trip. Stay at two of our lodges, and we’ll plan the move between them.

The Idea

More Than One River, One Trip

Each of our lodges sits on different water. The Flagship Lodge opens up big freestone rivers across the Yellowstone basin. Spring Creek Lodge sits on private, technical spring-creek water. Bighorn River Fly Fishing Lodge puts you on one of the West’s most productive tailwaters.

A multi-lodge stay puts two of them in the same trip. You spend a few nights at one, move to the next, and come home having fished Montana water that most anglers only see over several trips. You travel as one party on one itinerary, with one team planning the whole thing.

The simplest way to see how it works is our signature example below, the Multi-Lodge Experience. If you have a different pairing in mind, or a different split of nights, we’ll build it around you.

The Multi-Lodge Experience

The Multi-Lodge Experience pairs Spring Creek Lodge with The Flagship Lodge. You start at Spring Creek Lodge, fishing private, technical spring-creek water on the Boulder River ranch. Then, mid-trip, your guide drives you to The Flagship Lodge on East Rosebud Creek, where the rest of your week opens up across the Yellowstone, Stillwater, and Boulder river corridor.

You don’t repack. You don’t arrange a transfer. You don’t book two trips. One rate covers the whole week: lodging at both properties, every meal, all guided fishing days, gear, flies, and your round-trip from Billings. Your luggage moves while you fish.

It’s sold two ways: the Multi-Lodge Experience at 5 Nights / 4 Days (2 nights at Spring Creek + 3 nights at The Flagship), or the Extended Multi-Lodge Experience at 7 Nights / 6 Days (3 nights at Spring Creek + 4 nights at The Flagship) for anglers who want more days on the water and a third river system in their week. Both can be booked online.

Spring Creek First

Start quiet. Spring Creek Lodge sits on a private ranch spring creek just over the hill from the Boulder River near Big Timber. The water is cold, clear, and technical year-round: sight-fishing to rising trout, fine tippets, precise casts. It’s the most patient water we guide.

Big Water Next

The Flagship Lodge opens up the rest of the week. Drift boat the Yellowstone. Wade the Stillwater. Float the Boulder or East Rosebud Creek. Bigger water, bigger flies, different rhythm. The contrast is the whole point.

One Rate, One Booking

Single rate covers the entire week across both properties. One reservation. One confirmation. One check-out at the end. Nothing to reconcile between lodges mid-trip.

The Example, Continued · The Transfer Day

How the Middle Works

Transfer day is where most two-lodge trips fall apart. Ours doesn’t. Here’s how the day goes on the Multi-Lodge Experience:

Morning. You fish the spring creek one more time, or float a closer Boulder section: a normal fishing morning, same pace as every other day. While you’re on the water, the lodge staff moves your luggage to The Flagship.

Afternoon. Your guide drives you between the properties. It’s the same guide you fished with all morning; the drive is an hour, through the foothills north of the Beartooths, and mostly it’s a conversation about tomorrow’s water.

Evening. You arrive at The Flagship in time for the welcome dinner, settle into your room (luggage already there), and meet the guide assigned to your remaining days. The next morning you’re on the Yellowstone.

On a Multi-Lodge trip, the only days that aren’t full fishing days are the arrival day (3pm check-in) and the checkout day (10am departure). The transfer day is a full fishing day.

Build Your Own

Your Lodges, Your Split

The Multi-Lodge Experience is one pairing with a set number of nights. It isn’t the only one. You might want a longer stay at one lodge and a shorter one at the next, a different pairing of lodges, or a trip that takes in all three. Our team builds those by hand.

1 · Tell Us What You’re After

Your dates, the size of your party, and the lodges or kinds of water that interest you. If you’re not sure which lodges to pair, say so — that’s the most common starting point.

2 · We Build the Itinerary

We work out which lodge comes first, how many nights you spend at each, and the water and guides for each day, based on availability and the season.

3 · You Get One Quote

We send the whole trip back as a single quote to review, with each lodge stay laid out. Adjust anything you like before you book.

Who It’s For

Anglers Who Want More of Montana

A multi-lodge stay is the right trip if you’ve fished Montana before and you want to see more of it this time. It’s the right trip if it’s your first Montana visit and you don’t want to come back saying “I only saw one river.” It’s the right trip for parties where one angler prefers technical sight-fishing and the other prefers big-water drift boat days — you’ll both get your week.

It’s the right trip for return guests who already know one of our lodges and want to see another. And it’s the right trip for anyone who measures a fishing trip by the variety of water they fished, not the number of miles they drove.
