I just spent the last 3 days on the Smith River at the Heaven on Earth Ranch and thought they deserved some props. First of all if you haven't got a chance to fish the Smith then you need to. It is one of the most scenic trout streams we have here in Montana. Although access is limited, you can either float it or access it through private property such as...Anderson's (operated by Gary and Vic). These guys run a top notch operation, great accomodations, excellent food (Heather is a great cook), and an unbelievable view of the Smith canyon. There is hot water, rising trout, an old time western saloon that overlooks the river, wildlife, small streams, and even a 9 hole par 3 golf course. Although the last three days we fished were pretty muddy water we still got fish and July and August are very consistent for great water, and some of the best fly fishing in Montana all year long... stonefly hatches, Caddis, Mayflies, etc. If you are fly fisherman looking for a place to take the family, have business meetings (which we often host there), or just want to fly fish on a working Montana ranch...this is a great place and truly lives up to it's name as "Heaven on Earth". http://www.deepcreekoutfitters.com/
