Fish the Missouri River last Friday, fishing was not fast but consistent. Used 1/8 oz Woody’s Excell in the ghost color combination, and bait’in jig with a half crawler. Most fish between 11 in to 19 in, with this one big one almost 25 in., The big girl was sent back into the river.
Late October on the Missouri River near Craig, MT means cold fingers and hot fishing. Here’s what flies to throw, what to expect, and why it’s worth the drive.
