Missouri River Fly Fishing
The Missouri River is a fly anglers’ paradise. This tailwater fishery in central Montana is world-famous for its large, hard-fighting rainbows and browns. The “Mighty Mo” is a bug factory with hatches sometimes so prolific that it’s worth it just to be there and see it for yourself. While much of the time is spent nymphing the deeper runs to get numbers of fish (some years as many as 5k per mile) the savvy dry fly fisherman can have outstanding days in late June through October, targeting pods of risers. This is very technical and rewarding fishing. Streamer fishing can also have its time on the Mo and can bring jaw-dropping specimens to hand under the right conditions. The average size trout in the Mo is 15″ to 18″ with many pushing the 22″ mark and the occasional brown trout in the lower reaches may be as big as your leg! If this river isn’t on your bucket list, then you need to add it. Join us on one of our Missouri River fly fishing trips and see for yourself why its many an anglers favorite river!
