Seems like the BWO or streamer theme applies to a lot of places, southwestern Montana included.  Browns are migrating in the Madison, Ruby, Beaverhead, Big Hole, Gallatin, Missouri and Yellowstone rivers, so streamers are the choice here.  Want to try for REALLY BIG browns?  Wade Lake produced the Montana state record (twenty-nine pounds and change) and near record browns.  Get those streamers down deep here.  Other great still waters for big browns are Clark Canyon Reservoir, Hebgen Lake, Quake Lake, and Smith Lake.  If you prefer top water fishing, the BWOs are abundant on nearly all rivers.…

It’s brown trout time!  Bring those streamers.…

Best brown trout action will be found on the Madison River above Hebgen Lake and between Hebgen and Quake lakes.    On the Beaverhead River browns are active throughout. Have those streamer patterns ready!…

Break out the streamers; it brown trout time on many rivers!…
