If you want to get into the good fishing with fewer people a little quicker, spend the money on a decent guide. It will be the best money you spend on the trip. I used to work in the fly fishing business in MT and it was really sad to see people come out on their big trip and waste 90% of their trip fishing a stretch of river they aren't familiar with, with flies that aren't right, at a time of year when the fish aren't even around, with gear that won't get the job done. Split it with a buddy and it's only $200 a day each. Cheaper than a couple tanks of gas driving around trying to figure out where to go.

Glacier's fishing isn't as good, but it is beautiful, so worth the trip. If you want to fish up there, look at the Big Creek Campground. It's just outside the park on the West edge, easy to find, not too crowded, cheap, and is right on the North Fork of the Flathead River. The fishing is pretty good and the cutthroat are predictably dumb. Attractor dries and any nymph presented well will probably fool a few. Lots of bears around, so be smart about making camp. Some moron left a bag of dog food out in the campsite next to us and had a visitor in the middle of the night. Good thing we had that mesh tent to protect us.
