Welcome to Treasure State Angling
There is a reason Montana is called the “Treasure State,” and much of that wealth is found beneath the surface of our crystal-clear waters. At Treasure State Angling, we don’t just offer boat rides; we pride ourselves on catering custom fishing trips designed for the seasoned angler and the first-time family adventurer alike.
Whether you’re hunting trophy Lake Trout on the massive expanse of Flathead Lake or seeking the quiet rhythm of a fly line on a mountain river, Erik Johnson and his team provide the expertise, equipment, and local “secret spots” to make your Montana dream a reality.

For Erik Johnson, fishing isn’t a hobby – it’s a way of life. Based out of Plains, Erik founded Treasure State Angling to share his passion for the rugged beauty of Montana’s waterways. With years of experience navigating the unpredictable conditions of Flathead Lake, Erik has developed a reputation for his “fish-first” mentality and his ability to put clients on the bite, even on the toughest days.
When he isn’t on the boat, you’ll find Erik exploring the backcountry or scouting new winter destinations in the Caribbean. His goal is simple: to ensure every guest leaves the boat with a great story and a deeper appreciation for the outdoors.
