MISSOULA, MONTANA
Five Rivers. Right Out the Door.
Missoula sits right where four of the best trout rivers in the West come together, the Blackfoot, Bitterroot, Clark Fork, and Rock Creek, with the legendary Missouri tailwater a couple hours up the road. No other city in America puts you this close to this much great water. We fish all of them.
THE FISHERIES
Five Rivers. One Town. Endless Fishing.
BLACKFOOT RIVER
A Blue-Ribbon Freestone
Wild rainbows, browns, and cutthroat in canyon country, and a salmonfly hatch worth planning a trip around.
BITTERROOT RIVER
Montana’s Most Productive Freestone
90 miles of wild trout water flowing from the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. Rainbows, browns, cutthroat, and bonus northern pike.
CLARK FORK RIVER
Right Through Downtown, and Worth It
A big river with great water above, below, and right through Missoula. Rainbows, browns, and cutthroat in the deep slots, plus bonus pike in the backwaters as good as it gets. Year-round access.
ROCK CREEK
One of Montana’s Best Wade Creeks
Cold, clear, catch-and-release only. Wild cutthroat, browns, and rainbows, and the kind of solitude that’s harder to find every year.
MISSOURI RIVER
A Famous Montana Tailwater
The Missouri near Craig is one of the best-known trout tailwaters in the country, about two hours from Missoula. A few of our guides fish it in the spring, and we can arrange a trip there by request for anglers who want to add a bucket-list day to their week.
