- Step out on the deck to enjoy the big, wide Montana sunset on the Bighorn
- Or watch that all-important game on the widescreen TV
Appetizers are brought up by the attentive serving staff prior to inviting you to dinner.

The rustic country setting provides the comfortable, relaxed feeling, and the staff does what they do best - make you feel like royalty! You will be pampered through each course - all the way through to dessert.
Take your time, enjoy the conversation and, when you are ready, you can mosey back to the loft or down to your cabins.
You will also enjoy cheery, bright breakfasts here in the morning. We'll have the coffee ready for you by 7 o'clock.

"The best luxury fly fishing and bird hunting in the USA"
The accommodations are excellent, total attention to very detail, need and want. The food is 5 star dining at every meal. The wine selection is wonderful. Every staff member caters to all of your needs and desires. Fly fishing the Bighorn River is incredible. The bird hunting, guides and dogs are among the finest in the lower 48. The remote location feels like a luxury home.- G. C. -
"Great place to relax"
Great place to relax; go with the refuge foundation.- Patrick M. -
"Take my word for it, the hunting, the fishing, and the people are all great."
Take my word for it, the hunting, the fishing, and the people are all great. I hunted. I fished. I had a damn fine time.- Bobby Knight -
"Novice or expert, you’ll succeed."
With thousands of fish per mile, and the guide to put you on them, novice or expert, you’ll succeed.- Tim Boyle -
"We will be back next year for another adventure."
Second trip to Forrester's this past June -- once again, it was everything we hoped it would be and more. We enjoyed our first trip so much last year, that we returned this spring with 7 more of our friends (total of 10). Nick and Francine are incredibly generous hosts and in my experience, you won't find a better combination of quality fishing, spectacular views, comfortable accommodations and five-star dining anywhere else. Frank (head chef) turns out meals that rival anything you can find in the top big-city restaurants and the food was one of the many reasons we came back for a second season. Of course, the fishing, quality guides and great location were factors too. Book this place with confidence and enjoy your Montana fly fishing experience, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned angler! We will be back next year for another adventure.- Guest -
"Thank you for another outstanding visit!"
I can't say enough good things about Forester's Bighorn River Resort. My father has been going there to fish every year for over 20 years and I have been fortunate enough to go with him 4 times. If you are a serious fly fisher you will think you have died and gone to heaven at the resort. Even if you are rank amateur like me you will love it. The guides are so good you can't help but catch fish. Nick, Francie and the staff go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and to cater to individual preferences. The cabins and the lodge are comfortable and well appointed. And the food is worth the trip all by itself. Frank makes better tasting and more beautifully presented meals than I've had in excellent restaurants. Thank you for another outstanding visit!- Guest -
"Forrester’s is a great experience and their location right on the Bighorn can’t be beat."
For the last eight years I didn’t have much free time on my schedule. But whenever I had an opportunity to visit Forrester’s and fish the Bighorn, I made time. Forrester’s is a great experience and their location right on the Bighorn can’t be beat. Would highly recommend Forrester’s to anyone who demands the best location, lodging, dining and guides.- Dick Cheney -
"Beautiful views and great fishing!"
The food was outstanding! The Service was unmatched! Beautiful views and great fishing!- J.H.
