First time on the Missouri












Monday afternoon I pulled off of I-15 in Craig Montana and stopped at the first Flyshop I saw. Headhunters Fly Shop outfitter Mark Raisler completely hooked me up. I told him I had never fished the Missouri and didn't have a clue where to begin. "No Problem". He gave me a map, pointed out some easy access and told me to go get my fly box. He went through my bugs and told me what looked right for the river. He sold me a few local faves and sent me on my way. If you want to fish the Missouri, start at Headhunters. Great guys.

I caught several rainbows on top fishing with a size 18 Sparkle Dun in BWO. Had some luck in the deep pools with a big pink scud and a olive WD40.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. This might be my new best river!
