Directions: CHECK YOUR ODOMETER--The Lodge is Approximately 25
miles from Alder, MT. In Alder, turn West
at the Alder Market and proceed towards the Ruby Dam, which is about 7
miles South of Alder. Stay on highway and continue past the Dam. A couple
miles past the Dam the pavement ends; continue on the gravel road, remain
on the main road. There is a Y in the road about 13.5 miles from Alder,
stay left. There will be another Y in the road about 20.1 miles from Alder,
stay left again. Continue on main road, past the Snowcrest
Ranch, and 2 miles past the Upper Canyon Ranch. The Lodge is located on the
right hand side of the road, up on the hill, and is visible from the main
road. The Lodge has log siding that is stained cedar color with brown trim.
There is an overhead sign on the gate where you turn to access the road to

Fishing
strategy:
Super dry fly action. The Ruby
River offers a wide
variety of fishing techniques whether it's nymphs,
streamers, or dry flies - all will catch fish.
The Madison is a river
that is best fished by float fishing. It is fairly swift and shallow.
Wading can be difficult due to the large slippery rocks that cover the
river bottom. June and early July offer Stonefly Hatches. July is
good using caddis and mayflies.

Originating in the
snow packed peaks of the Greenhorns and Gravelleys, the Ruby
makes its way through an ever-broadening valley to the Ruby Reservoir
inlet. The Upper Ruby is home to populations of rainbows, brook trout and
some cutthroat and brown. A pilot grayling introduction is underway in the
upper most reaches of the Ruby
River. Located in the
South Western portion of Montana, the Ruby River offers superb fly-fishing and
spectacular scenery.
Broken Arrow Lodge is a modest, family oriented
fishing/hunting lodge. It is located
on the Ruby River and is centrally located
between the Beaverhead and Madison Rivers.
The Ruby offers an abundance of fishing for all levels of
expertise. Regardless of your
fishing ability, the river can be easily waded.
- Dates: July 17th to 23rd
- Lodging:
$106.75/day or $743.75/week (includes 3 meals per day)
Last year 15 Granite Bay Flycasters attended this
fishout and everyone had a wonderful time.
