What you're signing up for
Our 6–9pm evening trip is for people who want the absolute best of Flathead Lake at the best time of day. The summer evening bite is real — fish move up out of deep water as the sun drops, and the lake itself transforms into a postcard. Pair it with dinner at Harbor Grille after the boat comes in. Available June through August.

Good to know
Common questions
When is the evening trip available?+
June through August, when the summer evening bite and long daylight line up. Book early — these sell out fastest.
Is the evening bite really better?+
In summer, often yes. Fish move up out of deep water as the sun drops, and the lake is cooler and calmer than midday.
Can we get dinner after?+
Yes — the dock is at Harbor Grille, so you can walk off the boat and straight to a table.
