The Loft
After a day of fishing or hunting, our guests enjoy relaxing in the Cigar Loft where they can:
- Enjoy a refreshment
- Swap fish stories
- Step out on the deck to enjoy the big wide Montana sunset on the Bighorn
- Or watch that all-important game on the wide screen TV
Appetizers are brought up by the attentive serving staff prior to inviting you to dinner.
The Dining Room
The music plays gently and the lighting is set just right as you are invited to get settled in for your meal!
The rustic country setting provides the comfortable relaxed feeling and the staff does what they do best - make you feel like royalty! You will be pampered through each course - all the way through to dessert.
Take your time, enjoy the conversation and when you are ready, you can mosey back to the loft or down to your cabins.
You will also enjoy cheery bright breakfasts here in the morning. We'll have the coffee ready for you by 7 o'clock.
The Pro Shop
The Pro Shop is where you will gather after breakfast to meet your guides and get ready for a day of hunting or fishing.
There are several items we have for your convenience, including:
- Fishing shirts
- Hunting vests
- Ammo
- Neck gaiters
- And lip balm
In addition, we can make sure you have the proper licenses before we send you out on your adventure.

"Novice or expert, you’ll succeed."
With thousands of fish per mile, and the guide to put you on them, novice or expert, you’ll succeed.- Tim Boyle -
"Great place to stay"
Great place to stay and fish the Bighorn River- Sandy E. -
"The staff is always on point"
Foresters is the spot to get out in the great outdoors and do some darn fly-fishing (and hunting during the proper seasons). The staff is always on point and they top it off with food that is on another level (possibly from a different planet), and will keep you guessing until your last night !!!- Justin T. -
"Great hunting. Great Fishing!"
Great hunting. Great Fishing! Choose either, you will not be disappointed.- John Havlicek -
"This is the place to be!!"
We had a great time during our stay at Forrester's. The cabins are comfortable and clean and the main lodge is beautiful and a great place to relax at the end of the day. We had two different guides, both knowledgeable and patient. The food is incredible..each day tops the last, including wonderful coolers packed for a day on the river. The hosts are experienced, available and intent on insuring that you have what you need and that you have a great time. Highly recommend this lodge!!- Edwd -
"We will be back next year for another adventure."
Second trip to Forrester's this past June -- once again, it was everything we hoped it would be and more. We enjoyed our first trip so much last year, that we returned this spring with 7 more of our friends (total of 10). Nick and Francine are incredibly generous hosts and in my experience, you won't find a better combination of quality fishing, spectacular views, comfortable accommodations and five-star dining anywhere else. Frank (head chef) turns out meals that rival anything you can find in the top big-city restaurants and the food was one of the many reasons we came back for a second season. Of course, the fishing, quality guides and great location were factors too. Book this place with confidence and enjoy your Montana fly fishing experience, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned angler! We will be back next year for another adventure.- Guest -
"Most memorable family reunion!"
Family Reunion! None of us are from Montana, but we gathered here to take advantage of the blue ribbon fishing on the river and the nearby lake for incredible boat rides through the beautiful Bighorn Canyon. My husband and I live here in Fort Smith and invited everyone to join us "out west". Family members have been thanking me for putting it all together but just between you and me - Nick and Fran helped us every step of the way - getting everything just right for our special weekend! Chef Frank pulled out all the stops when preparing dinner - I am still dreaming about that dessert.... Thank you to all the staff, Nick, Fran and Frank for a most memorable family reunion!- Jean M. -
"Can't Wait to Return to Forrester's!"
Our first visit to Forrester's will definitely not be our last! Cozy, well-appointed cabin, yummy cuisine, and best of all, our fishing experience! We're still newbies at fly-fishing, and our fantastic guide, Matthew Granberg, could not have been more patient, knowledgeable and accommodating (as well as humorous and entertaining!). Being on the river with Matthew as our guide was definitely the high-point of the trip. Will definitely be back!- Rusty
