The Missouri River
The Missouri River is our specialty, from the trout rich runs below Holter Dam, to the "National Wild and Scenic" float downstream of Fort Benton. We provide trips on the Missouri's scenic tributaries too, including the Smith, Dearborn, and the Sun River. We also offer trips on other Rocky Mountain Rivers including the Blackfoot and the South Fork of the Flathead. In addition to our trout fishing opportunities, MRO also offers guided Walleye fishing.
