| The Missouri |
|
| |
 The Missouri River has been described as the world’s largest spring creek, however the 35 mile blue ribbon section from Holter Dam downstream to the town of Cascade actually is as varied as the Montana weather. There truly is water to meet just about every fly fishing taste. From the slick weed flats below Wolf Creek Bridge offering challeging dry fly fishing to the brawling streamer water of Half Breed rapids and all the "either/or" in between, you can do it all in week on the Missouri.
The Missouri river is open to fishing 24-7, year-round, however the river's major hatch season begin in late April and ends in early Novemeber with the Blue Winged Olive hatch. The Caddis hatch typically shows up in earnest in early to mid-June. Late June is typically PMD time and the ever popular Trico emergence usually begins in the first or second week of July.
The trout start looking at terrestrials in late July early August and the fall streamer season usually kicks into gear about the the third week in September.
The winter season on the Missouri is dominated by the midge hatch and fishing can also be very good with small crustacean patterns. |

| The Yellowstone |
|
| |
 The longest free-flowing river in the lower 48 states, the Yellowstone offers some truly unique fishing opportunities in a stunning vista. The Yellowstone is a classic western freestone river-big and brawling during runoff and low and clear in late fall and is best fished by driftboat. From the town of Gardiner downstream approximately 200 miles to Big Timber, Montana, the Yellowstone offers a variety of day float possibilities. Caddis and Stoneflies are the predominate insect hatches, however both spring and fall Blue Winged Olive fishing can be suprisingly good. |
