Get Away To Missoula, Western Montana

Fall’s officially here, which means you still have a few more months of fly fishing to get in before Jack Frost comes calling.

If you’re looking to get away this fall, and hoping to find a great destination with a handful of blue-ribbon trout waters to pick from, Missoula, Mont., is tough to beat.

The latest edition to our Where to Fish page, Missoula is probably best known for being the location where “A River Runs Through It” was set

But Missoula has a lot more than just the timeless Blackfoot River to hang its hat on. In fact, Missoula is within minutes of four of the best trout fisheries you’ll find in Big Sky Country.

Along with the Blackfoot, Missoulians can also find trophy fish on Rock Creek and the Clark Fork and Bitterroot Rivers. Here’s a closer look at Missoula’s Big Four.
