Five Minutes from Lodge to Launch!

Welcome to Forrester's Bighorn River Resort, Montana's only Orvis endorsed resort located directly on the unsurpassed, upper three miles of the Bighorn River. The only lodge in the country to earn all four Orvis endorsements.

"For the last eight years I didn’t have much free time on my schedule. But whenever I had an opportunity to visit Forrester’s and fish the Bighorn, I made time. Forrester’s is a great experience and their location right on the Bighorn can’t be beat. Would highly recommend Forrester’s to anyone who demands the best location, lodging, dining and guides."
Dick Cheney, Vice President, Outdoorsman

The Bighorn River, located in south central Montana, is considered to be one of the finest trout streams not just in our fair state but in all of the lower forty-eight. Its wide expanses flanked by the Bighorn Valley and the Rocky Mountains beyond also happen to be prime upland game bird hunting grounds. If you've never been to the Bighorn River Valley, there's no better way to enjoy these mighty waters than by staying and playing right on the river's banks at Forrester's Bighorn River Resort.

Enjoy private guided fly-fishing, mixed-bag wingshooting and the river's most comfortable private cabin accommodations perfectly complemented by our award-winning gourmet meals. Forrester's has four Orvis endorsements for wingshooting, fly-fishing, outfitter and expedition. That's more Orvis endorsements than any other hunting or fishing lodge in the country. At Forrester's, we have a lot to be proud of and we proudly pass it all along to our clients. It's where Montana keeps her promises. So come on up for a visit. We'll see you soon.

"Take my word for it, the hunting, the fishing, and the people are all great. I hunted. I fished. I had damn fine time."
Bobby Knight, Coach, Outdoorsman
