LONGING for Montana

"Where the rainbow ends", is the description that I've heard in terms of describing the Missouri River watershed. With spectacular views and the town folk to match, it truly is a must visit for anyone who loves trout. I'm particularly fond of the area around the town of Craig, with a few great fly shops, and easy access to this amazing tailwater. I'd like to thank Tight Lines Fly Fishing Company in Green Bay, WI (you MUST check out their online flyshop) for first introducing me to this Blue ribbon experience. With rainbows that look like footballs, and Browns that rival the Kracken from Clash of the Titans, a 6 to 7 weight rod is definitely warranted. The first day you spend there, plan on breaking off at least 50% of the fish you hook, their THAT strong, but how rewarding. If you want to plan a trip, look up Josh Steinmetz at Steinmetz outfitters, in my opinion he's the best guide on the river. the Missouri river trout shop can get you in Touch with him, its an experience you soon wont forget, and will leave you longing for the great state of Montana!
