Glacier NP Fishing

[Natekursow]

Planning on hitting Glacier NP next June. Just wondering if anyone has any tips/suggestions?
This wouldn't be a fishing-centered trip, but if I would be able to cast a line around for a day. Any advice helps. Thanks!

June is prime runoff month in the Rockies. The big rivers will be high and cold. Some of the smaller streams might fish, but the water will be dang cold still (snowpack depending of course).

I would concentrate one's efforts on stillwater nearby to stream inflows, and spring creeks, for this reason.

Watch the regulations, because June is also cutthroat spawning month and many rivers/streams may be closed to fishing for that reason.

In some lakes, pike are an option and can be very aggressive at that time of year in shallow water.

In June...plan on big water where ever you end up, The Middle Fork of The Flathead around Columbia Falls/Hungry Horse fishes best around GNP...Contact Lary's Fly Shop in Columbia Falls for up to date info.

we were up there this last june. huge runoff, tough fishing. There are some local small streams in and out of the park that are going to be your ticket. Stop by Bigfork Anglers (30 min south of Glacier) and chat with them about some small stream options. also worth taking the drive 1.5hrs south to hit the blackfoot. that seems like in comes into shape earlier in the season.
