All boats have covered areas, enclosed cabins & restrooms. We also have two hour twilight fishing or tours June-September. A Able Fishing Charters offers FOUR HOUR TOURS on Flathead Lake for groups up to eight. Tours include getting to and on Wild Horse Island where you may see Wild Horses, Big Horn Sheep, Bald Eagles and other wildlife while hiking the trails. There are other sites to see around the lake such as Painted Rocks; a little history lesson included in that. A Able Fishing Charters gives LARGE GROUPS another option. Rather than breaking your group up into smaller boats (which is also great if you are competitive), we have available the Fun Time, a 30 ft Thunder Jet. We take 7-16 people on this boat for fishing, touring or both. Full & Half day trips available Jun.-Sept. OTHER AREA LAKES: Howe?s Fishing / A Able Charters offer the 18ft War Eagle, which makes casting & jigging a breeze. Depending on the season, you can choose to catch Rainbows, Bass, Pike and more.
