Missouri River Fly Fishing

The Missouri River below Holter Dam has been called the world’s largest spring creek and is the most famous section of the Missouri. Holter Dam releases consistent flows from the bottom of the lake year-round creating an environment of ideal trout habitat. The best method for fishing the large river is by drift boat.

    Best Time to Fly

    Hatches occur throughout the year and the Missouri boasts the longest productive fly fishing season around. Because of the dam, the river does not experience the extreme high flows in the spring, making this the best time for Missouri River fly fishing.
