Hey welcome MFT. I have a good friend that lives in Missoula. Have been up there and fished with him once on the Clark Fork and Rock Creek and a few more. Great fishin to be had up there.
Thank you...Rock Creek is certainly right at the top of my list. It get so awful crowded during the height of the season though...most enjoyable in Spring before runoff starts, and then again in the September-November time frame when it's possible to be almost by myself. Clark Fork is also great...it didn't ice up too badly this Winter...and the Bitterroot stays open most years. Both are also top notch trout streams...if you don't mind busting ice out of the rod guides. Tight lines to ya.

Welcome MFT74... Do you ever fish at Clark Canyon Reservoir? Uncle has a place there. It borders Ted Turners Buffalo Ranch land. I have fished there and caught pretty good size trout.
Howdy Jeremy - I have fished Clark Canyon Reservoir a few times...it's a big body of water, but can get kind of crowded during the height of the season. Harbors some huge Rainbows though. Mostly I fish the rivers and freestone streams closer to me. Tight lines to ya!

Welcome M74. I show 3 others out that way. Can you narrow your area down a little better on the profile. That N W is a big territory.
Sure thing -- about 20 miles WNW of Missoula...the Clark Fork, Rock Creek, Bitterroot, Blackfork streams/rivers, and Flathead Lake and it's associated rivers are all within an hours drive, or less. That is, once I get down off the mountain.
Have been lurking and reading/enjoying the posts to "Fishing Digest"...decided to join so I could comment on posts, and maybe add some worthwhile information from time to time. Seems like a friendly, knowledgeable group of folks here....polite too. Looking forward to a long association.
