Oh Montana, what a great state. Pre-Runoff, like in late April or very early May is spectacular.

During runoff, the Missouri would be your best bet, below Holter Dam (Craig, MT) down to Cascade. There are a few areas where wading is ok but that is pre or post run off. Even with the dam controlling this river it does get a lot of water during run off but from a drift boat you can fish downstream of the various islands and such and pick up some very good fish.

Post Runoff-- Normally in early July but as indicated in 2011 it was into August when the rivers finally dropped enough. Keep an eye on the snowfall levels to see what next year is going to do.
