Missouri River
The Missouri River is one of our favorite rivers east of the divide.
With water characteristics very similar to the Clark Fork, but with
tailwater aspects, a good day on "the Mo" can take your breath away.
Only two hours out of Missoula, the Missouri is a very good option and
safety net during the uncertain runoff conditions the Missoula area can
be dealing with in June. The early spring
streamer fishing, along with the thick midge and prolific march brown hatches in
April, can easily make this destination a primary objective. During mid
summer,
post runoff, we spend much less time on the Missouri since the
diversity of water in the Missoula area always has something fishing
very well. We also like to avoid the crowds that the rivers east of the
mountains typically see during the summer. Come fall, however, the Missouri once again becomes a great place to fish tricos to rising sippers and toss big junk to pre spawn browns.
