Angler fishing the Missouri River near Rivenrock under a stormy sky
The River

A private mile of the Missouri

One of the most consistent tailwater fisheries in the country, fished almost entirely from Rivenrock's own bank.

The Water

A tailwater that fishes twelve months a year

Released from Holter Dam just upstream, the Missouri here runs cold and clear year-round, holding some of the highest densities of large rainbow and brown trout of any river in Montana. Rivenrock's private mile means you're not competing for water with the rest of the valley.

Guided Fishing

Wade or drift, your call

Every stay includes guided fishing matched to your ability — wading the bank right outside your room, or a full day drifting downstream with a packed lunch. Rods, waders, and flies are provided; bring your own if you'd rather fish your own gear.

The Seasons

Something hatching, year-round

The Missouri's tailwater consistency means there's rarely a bad time to fish it — just a different fly box.

Winter

Slow, technical midge fishing under bluebird skies — fewer boats, and some of the year's biggest fish.

Spring

Pre-runoff nymphing gives way to the season's first blue-winged olives as the water begins to warm.

Summer

PMDs, caddis, and tricos bring steady dry fly action from dawn through the evening spinner fall.

Fall

Hoppers give way to Baetis as the crowds thin and the cottonwoods along the bank turn gold.
