Montana is home to thousands of miles of high-quality wild trout water, and it would take more than a lifetimes to fish it all. Most anglers have heard of the blue-ribbon rivers such as the Madison, Yellowstone, Missouri, Gallatin, Bighole, and so on. These larger waters deserve their famous reputations, but if you limit your time exclusively to the big rivers, you will only be scratching the surface of what Montana has to offer. On your next trip to the Big Sky state, try to check off a variety of fisheries to add diversity to your angling adventure. Here’s a sampling of what you could do if you decided to fish five different fisheries in five days to enjoy the ultimate variety that the Northern Rockies have to offer:

1. Wade a small stream

Montana’s small streams offer thousands of miles of water for adventurous anglers to explore. The diversity of smaller waters is impressive and includes cold mountain brooks, meandering meadow streams and small but fertile spring creeks. Some of the mountain streams may hold smaller trout due to their cold waters, but meadow streams are home to some surprisingly large fish. Smaller waters often receive much less pressure than their bigger and more famous brethren. Wading anglers who do their homework can find exceptional dry-fly fishing on these small waters. Venturing up a small meadow stream throwing hoppers on a warm August day is a classic experience that all fly fishers should enjoy on a trip to Montana. If you are in search of solitude and seclusion, small-stream fishing is a perfect fit. Over the years, we have found that these smaller waters often produce some of our most memorable days of the season.
