Missouri River trout count: Big fish, plenty of them

Fisheries biologists found healthy populations of rainbow trout in the Missouri River last fall when they conducted their annual rainbow trout census.

"In that Craig section, 78 percent of the population is greater than 16 inches; 65 percent is greater than 17 inches and 49 percent are greater than 18 inches."

And how awesome is that?!? Our home water continues to crank 'em out. Seems like we are going to 'peak' again this year and next in terms of the number of catchable big fish, should be fun.

We're running a Spring Special if you want to come check it out.
