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.
