Forrester's Bighorn River Resort

I went to Forrester's Bighorn River Resort expecting beautiful scenery and to learn how to fly fish. Those expectations were absolutely met but I hadn't thought a lot about the accommodations or the food. The comfort of the resort and the friendliness of the staff was a beautiful surprise. From the friendly welcome to the genuine hug that Francine gave us upon departure I felt at home the whole time. The biggest surprise however was the cuisine, yes gourmet cuisine. Every meal that we had there was surprisingly delicious. Even the "box lunch" contained a quality sandwich that would be served at a restaurant and we got to enjoy it on the Bighorn River. I went there to enjoy fishing and scenery and discovered much more. If you get a chance to go up there I recommend it highly.

A Five Star experience on all the elements of what a great fishing lodge should be. Our second visit. Fishing, guides, food and service are all excellent. The Forresters run a terrific operation with very professional staff. Francine is a wonderful hostess, very accomodating, and thinks of all the little things that make a difference. The best food on the river possibly in the state of Montana

Very good vibe. Food cannot be better. Francine is a great hostess. Internet is a optimal but present. Guides were great. Nymphs fishing was spectacular. Many Browns and rainbows over 20 in. Overall, great fishing experience.

Peaceful and ,relaxing environment.Food was outstanding! I did not fish. My husband did. There are no shops or restaurants in Fort Smith. Which is not a big problem , just a need to know . We arrived in the area a day early in our RV.Fortunately we had sandwich fixings. It is a great place with no distractions! Francine and all the staff were pleasant , accommodating and helpful. Oh and the artisan spring water that flows from the faucet is amazing!

I was given the opportunity to visit Forrester’s on a last minute trip. Everything was top notch! Spent 4 nights and 3 days fishing. Food was mind blowing. Staff was incredible! Guide was patient (and my first time fly fishing) and worked his butt off for us. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. If you’re still debating, let this review seal the deal. Hats off to a well run lodge and outfitter!
