You want a guide who doesn't have time to update fishing reports, or his website -- because he's actually fishing. You want a guide who can explain knots, bugs and the history of the Bighorn -- sometimes all at once. That guide is Jeremy Gilbertson. 12 years we've fished together. Every time I learn something new. I book a year in advance. I suggest you do the same.

Just back from another great visit to the Bighorn with Jeremy Gilbertson. As always, it was a…read morepleasure. (Tricos!) There is no aspect of guiding at which Jeremy does not excel. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Bighorn: every season, every hatch, every spot, every time of day, any water level, any weather. He's a skilled fisherman and a great teacher. He'll put you on fish and help you catch them. Great guy, too. If you need additional guides for a bigger party, he will arrange them, and they'll be great. Jeremy's customer service is excellent. Once you're booked with him, there's literally nothing to worry about. Just show up, fish, and have a great time. I've lost count of how many trips I've taken with Jeremy...more than ten. I'm looking forward to many more.

The Shiloh Conservation Area is an unexpected bonus in an area in which there is a much recent…read moredevelopment. It's a chance to get outside and enjoy nature without traveling far. As you walk along the path, there are signs describing what the conservation area does and the flora and fauna you might see. It's an easy walk, the paths are paved, the signs easy to read, and despite being close to a main road, it's quiet. While there are walking access points at the nearby apartments and businesses, there's also entrance off Shiloh near the Knife River business. It seems to be popular for families with kids and dogs or both, and people who like to fish. I've seen plenty of all of them. There's no seating or picnic tables, or the like, so it's a place to keep you moving (except maybe if you're fishing). You never know what you'll see around the next curve in the path, and that's not a bad thing.

Awesome place to stop en route or if you're in the area. Nice sized lake that allows kayaking,…read moreSUPing, and fishing. Just be sure to wear your life jacket or else you will get fined. :) There is a path around the lake to walk, a playground area, a dog park (park at the launch area and walk .25 miles), and some shelters you can rent out. Also plenty of restrooms as well. So glad we stopped to SUP for an hour- the weather was absolutely perfect. $6 parking for out of state license plates and the park rangers do come by to check!

Like this guide taught my youngest how to fly fish when he was little. We originally was going to go with Wild Trout Outfitters a few doors down but they were so rude that we left.

We booked Monster Lake Ranch for my daughter's wedding. Despite having over four months notice they…read moreweren't ready for us. We weren't able to set up for the wedding until a few hours before and that was because they didn't have anything ready. We had to clean the place before setting up because nothing had been cleaned. They had my deposit for over four months and I paid the entire balance 30 days before the wedding and yet they still did NOT have the place ready even though I was assured it would be. Because we had to do all of the cleaning and then the setting up I missed out on being present while my daughter got ready. I didn't get to help her into her dress. I didn't get to make memories or take pictures. I was robbed out of many things that day. Also, family stayed on the property and paid full price despite dirty rooms that were t even ready to be checked into until late evening and no hot water the next day. The website promises available breakfast and yet there was no breakfast and the restaurant was closed. They were told it was seasonal; the website says NOTHING about being seasonal. For the first 3 months after booking the ranch for the wedding, I could NOT get anyone to communicate with me. Many emails went unanswered as well as voicemails. When the one and I guess only staff member did finally communicate with me it was to tell me that an entire crew was getting the event center ready. Well that turned out to be one of many lies to come!!!! Nothing was ever done to get the place ready until we did it ourselves, the day of the wedding!!!! Also, we booked the "event center " sight unseen and was promised pictures on many occasions. Never once got any pictures. Then when we finally get there and are taken to the "event center," it turns out to be a huge garage, with no heat or running water. The bathroom facilities were several yards away and if turns out they were dirty and didn't have any towels to wipe hands on. We were out and out lied to many times and I will NEVER recommend this place, at least not with the current staff!!!!!!!

While we were there our guide showed up and introduced himself. He asked if we had any previous experience and talked about various locations, their conditions and where he thought we could go fish. Since our casting is far from professional and current conditions of the rivers were high and fast, we opted for a lake. We came with rods, waders, boots, snacks, but I left my reels in my truck at the store! Thank god , Brad (our guide had back ups! He got us all set up and we set out, talking about the conditions and what to expect. ( like rattlesnakes) what your step! It was a very educational experience, and we all caught some nice trout!
