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.
