Fly Fishing Trips, Vacations, Equipment & Gear: The Missouri River -a good taste of Montana

Flying into Bozeman Montana

My annual Missouri River trip was exactly what I wanted , a good dose of Northern Rocky Mountain Springtime weather , big fish ,excellent company, awesome guides and staked out territory namely the back seat of a Drift boat.Compared to other years ,things where late , the trout where just starting to look up as the first significant hatches namely B.W.O.'s where just starting to happen.The trout where also starting to move out of the deeper slower winter water and into the more exciting riffles and buckets .We picked up fish on Dries ,Streamers ,Short Nymph rigs and Deep Nymph rigs. Darcy Richardson and I stuck with short Nymphing and throwing Streamers as we searched for risers .
Darcy "roped "them and I blew more fish that I care to admit including a huge Brown that ate a streamer then kicked my ass .
The Guides (Mike ,Ben ,Pete and Mitch ) from Headhunters Flyshop where extremely hardworking and knowledgeable ,they put all members of our party into fish and everyone enjoyed their company .
I am looking forward to fishing the "Mighty Mo" when I head north in June .In the meantime things are just getting better on the Missouri , the water is warming and the fish and insects more active. If you are looking for a good trout fix go spend sometime in Trout Town USA -Craig Montana and fish with the gang from Headhunters Fly Shop .You won't be disappointed.
