Missouri River Brown Trout
Base Price is for full day boat | Up to 2 anglers
A guided Fly-Fishing trip on Montana’s “Blue Ribbon” Missouri River should be on every angler’s bucket list. Montana’s Missouri River is regarded as one of the best brown and rainbow trout Tailwater Fisheries in North America. It’s home to a rich and varied insect life, great scenery and a wild trout population that is off the charts. The Fishing can be very technical therefore ‘experience counts”. With a combined 50 years of Guiding and Outfitting Experience we have lots of that.
The rich and varied insect life coupled with the Missouri River’s tailwater and spring creek like characteristics equate to dependable hatches, strong growth rates and dependable but challenging Dry Fly fishing. Caddis and Mayflies are in abundance, while faster flowing stretches also are home to various Stoneflies. Midge hatches in the Spring can also be intense. In the Summer into early Fall Terrestrial fishing can also be very rewarding, especially when large Missouri River Brown Trout crush your Hopper pattern.
From the Holter Dam down to the town of Cascade, the River’s population of trout varies from 8000 combined brown and rainbow trout over 10 inches per mile in the upper stretch (Holter Dam to Craig) to 2500 per mile as the river reaches Cascade’s outskirts. The Missouri River Montana Fly-fishing experience is best noted for Spring Creek-style Dry Fly fishing, insane and technical nymphing action and awesome streamer fishing.
Although the Missouri River fishes year round the timeframe we focus in on is from mid-May thru in to October. The rainbow trout spawn has finished, the fish are out of the winter water and feeding more aggressively and the hatches are strong, providing great dry fly opportunities.
While other rivers can be high and dirty from run-off, due The Missouri River never really does. The dams above The Tailwater act as a massive settling pond, although flows increase during run off the Missouri River never blows out from dirty water which is a huge bonus for Fly-Fishers seeking a Missouri River Montana fly-fishing trip in June.
