Starting this weekend, Ruby Springs Lodge Montana will open for the fly fishing season through the end of October, and welcomes locals from the Santa Clarita Valley and beyond to visit their 6,000-acre ranch complete with gorgeous streams, golf courses, hiking and biking trails.

“You could have travelled the world and been to New Zealand or Mongolia or Costa Rica — everywhere, all over the place — fly fishing, or you can have never seen a fly fishing rod and just want to be exposed to the experience,” says John Sampson of Ruby Springs Lodge Montana. “You can just really show up.”

Included in guests’ stay are fly rods, waders and wading boots, and travelers also have access to experienced fly fishing guides, as well as a stocked tackle shop.

Sampson noted fly fishing is a great vehicle to get you outside and see the unbelievable beauty that Montana has to offer with tranquil streams, very few people and incredible wildlife.

Ruby Springs Lodge offers private accommodations right along the banks of the Ruby River, as well as fine dining at their private restaurant, which is only available to guests staying at the lodge.

“This is a very high-end operation,” Sampson said of the lodge. “It’s the best way I could describe it.”

The upcoming fly fishing season has the lodge already more than 95 percent booked, so Sampson encourages anyone who wishes to experience it this year to make their reservations now.

“We’ve got a great season. Mother Nature has been kind,” said Sampson. “Snowpack is at average or a little bit higher than average, which bodes very well for water levels throughout the summer — which really is the most important part to healthy fishery.”
