The
Missouri River
Beginning
its journey near the town of Three Forks, the Missouri is a culmination
of the Gallatin, Madison, and Jefferson rivers. While there is
some trout fishing to be had along its entire course, most of the trout
fishing is below Holter Dam down to the town of Cascade. The spring creek
like qualities of this tail water section can make for challenging but
very rewarding fishing.
Current Conditions & Fishing Strategy
5-6
The beatis hatch is on, so grab your long leaders tapered to 6x, along with the 5 weight and head out! If you would rather get them with a streamer, than that road is wide open too. The weather the next couple days should be perfect for either option, so all you've got to do is make the drive.
