Missouri River, Montana - Fishing Report - June 21, 2017
The river is down a little from the past week but still high from runoff. It can be fished
from a drift boat, but in our opinion, there are better choices. If you live nearby, give it a
shot. If you want to travel there as a destination trip soon, don't. Wait until the first to
second week of July..
Stream Conditions:
7 Day Weather Forecast: There is a chance of rain today and Friday, then clearing.
Highs will range from 65 to 78 degrees and lows from 45 to 50 degrees.
Recommended Trout Flies:

Strategies, Techniques and Tips:
The Brown Sculpin and White Belly sculpin are always great streamers to use on this
river. The Missouri River has a good population of sculpins.
Various species of Blue-winged olives hatch mostly on cloudy days.
Scuds are available year-round.
It is almost alway best to fish a tandem Midge rig under a small strike indicator with the
midge lava as the bottom fly and the midge pupa as the top fly. Fish the adult midge
only when you observe trout feeding on the surface.
Spotted sedges, or caddisflies, are starting to hatch.
Pale Morning duns are hatching.
