Missouri River Fishing Trips
Join our Bozeman fly fishing guides for another season on the world-renowned Missouri River near Craig, Montana. For over 23+ years, this has been “home away from home” for a few of our Montana fishing guides for most of April and June.
Montana fish populations of wild Rainbow and Brown Trout are robust with over 5000 fish per mile, anglers have realistic chances at trophy-sized trout on every outing.
Experienced anglers enjoy our guides’ nuanced approach to working the waters that receive less angling pressure. The novice angler will master a variety of fly fishing tactics.
Reservations can be secured online, via e-mail, or by calling us at 1-406-468-5019.
When Are We Going Again?
Spent three days on the Mo around Craig, MT with Feathers and Fins. Absolutely splendid fishing - I wish I were still there. We had great action from put-in to take-out and cordial help from great guides all along. Streamers, dries, nymphs... with a nice show of rainbows and browns to reward our flawless presentations. Feathers and Fins expertly planned the trip and ensured a good time for all skill levels and ages (30 to 70!) in our party. When are we going again? Are we there yet?"
