It seems as though the water managers are trying to find the right flow on the Missouri. They also are doing some scheduled maintenance on various Dams. It would be my amateur opinion that the Missouri River should stay high for two reasons; big water will support our record setting trout population, and with lots of water in Canyon Ferry Reservoir coupled with La Nina conditions we could still see more flood conditions. Winter is not close to over, in like a lamb, out like a lion?
With so many people claiming high probability of low water conditions next year, a contrarian probably has good odds.

With snow headed our way, it looks like the dry warm spell will be over for a bit. Hopefully Craig, Mt doesn't start to resemble Cordova, Ak. Call now for the best guides, when we are booked, we are booked. Not all Missouri River experiences are the same, your time is valuable, come fish with the Pro's. Like one of our top guides says; "It's hard to soar with eagles, when you flock with turkeys." I handle all bookings personally, if I weren't proud of our services, I wouldn't put my name on it.

Without substantial snow throughout most of our drainage, I have to ponder, will 2012 be a reprieve from historically high water? Who knows? I sure don't.
If you go fishing with the "other guys" you will probably be fishing under bobbers in a crowd regardless of conditions. My phone is ringing, and my first trips of the year are less than four months away. Book now for April, July, and September.
Choose your guide carefully as not all Missouri River experiences are the same. Call now!!!!! If we are fully booked, I will say no, rather than scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks, annually shocks and counts Trout from two different one mile sections of the Missouri River below Holter Dam. The top graph represents the numbers of Brown and Rainbow Trout over ten inches near the tiny hamlet of Craig, MT. The second graph represents the Brown and Rainbow Trout near the Pelican Point section.
These numbers don't really point out anything that wasn't already common knowledge in my circle. The Missouri currently has a tremendous population of Rainbow trout, add to that; wonderfully prolific hatches, great scenery, reasonable and diverse accommodations, and expert patient guides and you truly have a world class combination. Many of our clients have fished all over the world, and continue to fish the Missouri year after year. Choose wisely, as not all Missouri River experiences are the same.

The phone is ringing, fishing will be awesome. Don't get stuck with sub par opportunities and the "standard." If my small group of Guides / Outfitters is booked I will happily suggest another river. Buyer Beware! I certainly supply references.

I've been doing some skiing, tying some flies, and answering the phone and emails. 406-459-9221, Will this next season be the reprieve from ridiculous high water events? I have no idea, but there isn't much snow yet.

Looks like the season will extend for a tiny bit longer. I never would tell someone to come to Montana specifically to fish in November. April? Sure. Mid to late October? Of course. However, it is highly unlikely to have conducive baetis weather in November. The Merganser's may tell you differently, but it is wise to wait at least 4 or 5 months for good fishing. We already have lot's of bookings in April. If you want to fish tomorrow, I've got an ace guide living in Craig.
Stay in touch, I will be tying flies, writing emails, and hopefully throwing at black finned devils before too long.

The Missouri fished great right up to the closing bell. I have put the boat away, and am available daily via phone and email to plan next years fishing. Ridiculous dry fly and streamer fishing this fall, while sight fishing emergers was also fantastic. Not too many slow days, can't wait till April.

This has been a sublimely pleasant fall. I'm still sacking orkers on hopps and trickin' em with pupae. Book now for late season fly fishing, and pre-runoff trips are filling up soon.
