The Krutar Homestead is perfectly situated to offer fly-fisherman a rich variety of great angling opportunities. The ranch has two creeks and borders the North Fork of the Big Blackfoot River. It is also located within an easy drive of some of Western Montana’s best-known trout rivers.

Behind the Homestead, Rock Creek winds through pine forest and open meadow before it empties into the North Fork. A freestone stream, Rock Creek, offers resident populations of Brook and Cutthroat Trout and is a great place for children and beginners. Kleinschmidt Creek, the ranch’s other stream, is a true spring creek that offers greater challenges and greater rewards. Narrow and bordered by tall grasses that keep the creek cool, Kleinschmidt Creek holds Brown Trout up to 20" in length. The stream’s trout eagerly take dry flies and terrestrials.

Guests of the Homestead can fly-fish larger waters by simply walking across a field to the North Fork of the Blackfoot. Consisting of many long runs and pools, the North Fork is an easy wading river that holds many Cutthroat and Rainbow Trout in the 12-18" range. The protected Bull Trout can be seen in the deepest pools. Some fishermen have reported seeing Bull Trout in excess of 30".
