Nothing beats an after-fishing beverage and snack when you spend the day wetting a line. Any and every location calls for something a little different to eat and drink. A frosty Modelo and lime with salt after a full day of casting and stripping at roosters in the Baja or a piping hot chocolate to warm your bones from a full day of nymphing feisty rainbows in the spring on the Land of the Giants. It can sometimes be the cherry on top of an epic day!
Some of our favorite places to grab a bite to eat or enjoy a cocktail are near the rivers where we fish. Also, some ideas for accommodation if you are visiting. Be sure to check out our favorites Sunrift Beer Company in Kalispell and the A Bar in Ferndale, just past Bigfork. Both these places are sure to make you feel like family!
