Hunting: General rifle season for big game is full swing; with some chilly temperatures hunting conditions should be good, so get out there and good luck. If you still need any gear don’t hesitate to swing into Bob Ward & Sons for all your hunting needs. If you still need your 2015 hunting tags or regulations swing on in and see stop at our license center.
Fishing:
Missouri River: November is always a great time to fish the Missouri especially since there is very little pressure from other fishermen in November. BWOs are productive right now but we’d also recommend bringing along some midges and soft hackles. Nymphing is strong now and the streamer bite is starting to pick up.
Canyon Ferry Lake: The morning and evening feeding times are continuing to produce for shore anglers with marshmallows and worms. Those in boats are still doing well trolling cowbells with Rapalas, or spoons at about 35-40 feet. Walleye fishing is up and down as anglers continue to catch.
