The Rivers We Fish
Bitterroot River
An enigma among western Montana’s tumultuous freestone rivers, the Bitterroot flows in easy fashion, pacing itself along a serpentine path through a postcard-worthy valley.
Clark Fork of the Columbia River
Coursing through the eclectic college town of Missoula, the Clark Fork of the Columbia is the lifeblood of Western Montana, draining the largest volume of water of any river in the state.
Blackfoot River
Pumped full of cold, clear water via a web of veins in the vast, mountainous expanse bordering the Bob Marshall Wilderness, the Blackfoot is a storied trout stream synonymous with fly fishing.
Missouri River
Formed by the confluence of the Gallatin, Jefferson, and Madison in the town of Three Forks, the Missouri River flows for 700 miles across Montana. The stretch of the Missouri that we trout fish is about 35 miles.
