Just 25 miles as the crow flies from the Rocky Mountain Front, Flyway Ranch lies equidistant between Great Falls and Helena, Montana, along the fabled Missouri River. The 160-acre ranch was purchased in 1993 and has been meticulously updated and improved to become not just a prime wildlife refuge, but a place where residents and their guests can enjoy privacy and seclusion while having access to two cities with endless outdoor and cultural opportunities. The ranch sits at 3200’ in elevation, enjoying mild winters and easy access all months of the year. For the avid outdoorsmen, the Flyway Ranch boasts over a mile of prime fishing on the blue-ribbon, tail-water Missouri River, where there are thousands of fish per mile. The Flyway Ranch also has prime habitat for ducks, geese, Hungarian partridge, pheasants and deer. Most remarkably, the ranch boasts views of pristine mountains and ranchland. There are no houses visible from the ranch, which is highly unusual on such a popular trout river. » More: Live Water Properties Boasts New Listing in Montana - Flyway Ranch

Fishing on the Lewis Channel
October 28th, 2009
Bitter cold on Sunday but a very productive day on the Lewis Channel in Yellowstone (btw Lewis and Shoshone Lake). I landed 10+ fish over 18″ and lost a few more that looked to be much, much larger. » More: Fishing on the Lewis Channel
Team USA in the Jackson Hole One Fly

Alex Maher and Brian Hartley of Live Water Properties rounded out a team of exceptional anglers to form TEAM USA in the 24th Annual Jackson Hole One Fly competition. Maher posted a lofty score during “Saturday’s competition with numerous quality cutthroat between 15-18” – his secret weapon was a small black terrestrial which was deadly in the braiding side-channels. Hartley was assigned the often overlooked whitewater section from West Table to Sheep Gulch. Given the low pressure system that had moved in and the ominous cloud cover, he opted to fish sub-surface with a clouser minnow variation. » More: Team USA in the Jackson Hole One Fly
Fishing on the Flying Goose Ranch
September 23rd, 2009
The fishing on our newest listing, the Flying Goose Ranch, on the Gros Ventre River is fantastic. Red hot cuttys coming strong to dry flies. The dimples on the water in the last image are of rising fish - it looked like the water was boiling with big heads (I broke one off by a massive cutty just as the sun was setting).

Fishing the Gros Ventre River
September 17th, 2009
Last week, Ernie Cockrell and I floated the section of the Gros Ventre River just above Slide Lake. We launched at the first bridge crossing and floated down to the Flying Goose Ranch. We had good action with yellow hoppers and Adams above the canyon with a few cuttys pushing 16-18 inches. Things slowed down in the canyon, but picked up again as we entered the Flying Goose Ranch. Overall a great day on the river.
Monster Brown Trout

A Georgia angler caught this giant brown trout on the campgrounds section of the Green River in early August. Weighing in at approximately 12.5 pounds and 30″ in length, this brown trout was a monster.
Gliding over Star Valley
September 11th, 2009
Brian Hartley of Live Water Properties and Lance Mortensen of the Double L Ranch, glided over Star Valley Friday evening in Mortensen’s Husky. While flying over the Double L Ranch, the Salt River and surrounding spring creeks were in plain view meandering through the property. Truly a sportsman’s paradise, this ranch is the perfect place to fly fish and hunt while enjoying the gorgeous scenery. For more information on the Double L Ranch, click here.
Evironmentally-Friendly Real Estate Investment
July 17th, 2009
The Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at Oxford’s Said Business School has published an excellent article entitled “Blended Value Investing: Innovations in Real Estate.” This article defines Blended Value Investing as investment that focuses not only on meeting defined financial return targets, but on preserving and creating ecological conservation value as well. The paper focuses specifically on Blended Value Investing in real estate, and begins by listing the vehicles available to invest in such properties. These vehicles are niche-individual deals, funds, and a marketplace. Since much ecological and conservation-based real estate investment involves large tracts of land that trade infrequently, niche deals and funds provide the best way to access this kind of investment.

A Sanctuary on the Lower Big Hole River
June 24th, 2009
Ahh, Montana, Montana ranches, Montana rivers…Perhaps the state most gifted with beautiful crystalline rivers and streams that flow cold, filled with wild trout. Nestled in the state’s southwestern region lies arguably the most prolific blue ribbon water in the entire West - the Big Hole Basin of the Upper Missouri River watershed. These waters provide diversity and sanctuary to the surrounding arid, yet stunning landscape. Within minutes from the quaint town of Twin Bridges, Montana, there are four river drainages that each offer world-class angling with obvious unique differences and charm - the Big Hole, the Beaverhead, the Ruby and the Jefferson. On the Big Hole River, fly fishing has always been an integral part of the community and the river has earned a status and respect that resonates across the fly fishing world and is considered one of the most diverse and dynamic watersheds in all of the western United States.
