The Best Places To Go Fishing in Glacier National Park

The Best Places To Go Fishing in Glacier National Park

When people think Glacier National Park the first thing that comes to mind is usually epic scenery, beautiful mountains, amazing hikes, serene campgrounds, and much more. What isn’t always talked about is how fun it is to go fishing here!

We’ve had a few successful fishing afternoons at the park. Most of these days were on the shores of Lake McDonald as well as where McDonald Creek meets the Middle Fork Flathead River. Make sure to find some Zimmer Tackle cut bait (available at most gas stations in the region) before going to the park. We’ve caught lots of trout on that cut bait! I’ve also done some research and included recommendations of the best places to fish in Glacier National Park.
