Salmon Forks Outfitters is the newest addition to the Swan Group of Companies. Founded in 1985, Salmon Forks Outfitters has been providing premier fishing, horseback pack trips and hunting trips for three decades. Swan Mountain Outfitters is the largest horseback based outfit in the State of Montana using over 275 horses and mules out of seven locations, and is well equipped to provide exclusive back country trips from the Salmon Forks location.
When you choose Salmon Forks Outfitters for your fishing, horseback pack trip or hunting trip, you are selecting a premier and unique Montana experience. It is a rare opportunity to fish native trout in their original habitat. Salmon Forks Outfitters operates out of the most coveted spot within the Bob Marshall Wilderness, taking anglers to the ?source? of the wild hatch for trout.
Because of the unique location of Salmon Forks Outfitters, we are able to provide a variation in horseback pack trip routes that are different from other outfitters in the Bob Marshall. Horseback pack trips may include ?roving trips? to the Chinese Wall, Mudd Lake Look Out and Big Salmon Lake. Most of the pack trips accommodate guests who like to fish at different locations along the way, and range from 5-9 days.
Salmon Forks Outfitters offers horseback pack-in elk hunts into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. One of the stand-out features of hunting in the Bob Marshall is that it is one of the few places in the country that you can hunt elk during the rut with a rifle. With over thirteen drainages within a five mile radius of the Salmon Forks camp, hunters can choose to either day hunt from camp, or ?spike out? for a few days to get closer to spotted game. Elk hunts run from September 14 to October 16, 6 weeks prior to the rest of the state opening for elk hunt for the general season.
