The cabins at Goose Down Ranch are located less than a mile from the famed Poindexter Slough, a top rated trout fishing spot on the Beaverhead River. The Beaverhead River is one of the most highly regarded blue-ribbon fly fishing streams in the United States. Goose Down Ranch is also just a short distance from the Big Hole, Madison, Jefferson and Ruby rivers, all of which are teeming with large and feisty German Brown trout, rainbow trout and brook trout that are just waiting for you to dip your line in and start pulling them out!

If you prefer a day or two of lake fishing, Clark Canyon Reservoir is just a short distance south of Dillon. With year-round fishing, this eight square mile lake boasts a bevy of rainbow trout, brown trout and ling cod...and weights ranging from 7-9 pounds are not uncommon! Day excursions are available from Goose Down Ranch to the reservoir. If you are visiting us during the winter months, you can take part in the unique experience of ice fishing...ON the lake. Once the ice fishing season is over, you have the option to choose to fish from the shore, head out on a boat to try your hand in the deeper water or, if you prefer, you can have your own float tube to peruse the lake at your own leisure.

Whatever your fishing pleasure, relaxing after a great day on the waters of Southwest Montana is made complete by heading back to Goose Down Ranch and relaxing in your own private cabin. As you relax under the stars in Big Sky Country, you will feel the stress of everyday life float away and you'll start to dream about how to make a full-time life in blue-ribbon trout fishing country a reality.
