I'm researching a 7-8 day pack in and float trip. Any of y'all done this before?

Nope but had friends who recently elk hunted there. They said highest grizz concentration in lower 48. Take your spray and have a plan to deal with your food/fish.

I've fished some alpine lakes and caught some trout, but it wasnt really a full blown fishing trip. Beautiful country though.

I know some guys, including a poster on here, that has hunted the area. They were all elk hunting though…

I have fished Hungry Horse and the Flathead above, also packed in 25 miles all along the river for elk hunting. I would never elk hunt that area again but I would damn sure enjoy what your talking about doing the river is stunning through there and the fishing is great.

Here is link to one outfitter that packs in and floats out.

Bears. I would not worry about the bears one bit. Problems with them are way over dramatized.

There is an outfit that has cabins & horses very close to the meadow creek trailhead but I can't recall the name.

I will update with some pics of the river you would be floating on if doing the south fork.

You can legally fish for bull trout on the South Fork of the Flathead above Hungry Horse with a special permit. Just be careful and look at regs beforehand. North Fork is awesome fishing too. Most all alpine lakes will crush, would recommend end of July and into August. Lots of bears but no problem with the right precautions.
