  • I'm thinking about a trip to Montana this summer, is it worth the travel from newfoundland?

  • Absolutely!!! The Missouri is a world class fly fishing river. I've been guiding on it for the past 3 years and have yet to find a better place to fish. There are roughly 4,000 trout per river mile and the average fish is in the 17 to 18 inch range.

  • Just a word since I see some "outfitters" posting below. Great Falls native here. Some outfitters proposed to shut down the dearborn section of the missouri for outfitters only. Rest assured if that ever happens you and your boat will have m-80's and gunfire going its way,...not to hurt but 2 sink. Damn tree huggers need to go to the other side of the pass and stay in missoula/kalispell. Great video though it reminds me what a blessing we have by having this in our backyard.

  • I work with many of the outfitters in the area and rest assured, non of the ones I know are trying to shut down the Dearborn. However, there has been speculation that FWP may start issuing permits much like the Smith...all speculation. BTW, I'm a hunter and spend a lot of time on the river; I've also hugged a few trees. There's nothing wrong with being a stewart and try to responsibly save what we have. Take care.

  • We don't allow Red Skins fans out here...lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. I guide a lot on the Missouri and although I love the small stuff, there's nothing like the Mo for the numbers and the size. Come on out but remember, the Mo is tough so make the best of your time and hire a guide.

  • Hey, thanks for watching and for commenting. As much as I would love to share what stream this is, I get paid to bring people to these places. You can contact Headhunters in Craig, MT if you or your father want to take a trip. Request me, Russ, as a guide and I will take you there or take you out on the MO for the big boys. Take care and keep 'em where they live, in the water not the trees.
