Milk River Catfish Classic

Directions Website

Milk River Catfish Classic Come enjoy one of the largest Catfish Tournaments in the country! The Classic is the "grand daddy" of the Montana Cats Tour.

It was started in 2000 by Field Staff member Brenner Flaten and his friend Luke Morehouse. Over the course of the past 24 years, the Classic has grown into the premier catfish tournament in the region. It is held annually on the 1st Saturday of June in Glasgow, MT. Boundaries stretch from the Mouth of the Milk near Nashua/Fort Peck to the Bjornberg Bridge near S**o. It is a night-time event that annually boasts a full 80-team field and over $15,000 in guaranteed cash and prizes. The popularity of this event is evident when the tournament fills up six months in advance and over 500 people regularly show up for the famous "midnight weigh-ins" in downtown Glasgow.

The Milk River bottom is Heaven on Earth. Check out the Moss Lodge for next year’s Cat Classic. 👀

When people think of Arneson Contracting & Construction Management, they usually think of roofing. But every now and then, a project comes along that allows us to showcase our skills in deep water.

Moss Lodge started as an idea—a vision for creating a one-of-a-kind destination along the banks of the Milk River. Over the course of this project, our team had the opportunity to bring together construction, remodeling, craftsmanship, problem-solving, and countless finishing details to help turn that vision into reality.

From the custom spaces inside the home, to the hot tub deck, the treehouse overlooking the river, and the countless details that give the property its character, every part of this project was approached with the same mindset we bring to our roofing projects: do it right, pay attention to the details, and build something that will last.

Projects like this don't happen because of one person. They happen because of great clients, talented subcontractors, dedicated employees, and people willing to put in the extra effort when the details matter most.

We're proud to have created a place where families can gather, friends can reconnect, and travelers can slow down for a few days and enjoy what Northeast Montana has to offer.

The feedback over the last few days has been incredible. Seeing people excited about the property, talking about staycations, family weekends, and future memories makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Thank you to everyone who helped make Moss Lodge a reality, and thank you to everyone who has shared, commented, and supported the project.

Private. Peaceful. Unforgettable.

Moss Lodge is now booking.
