Missouri River Fishing Map – Montana

Fish smarter, not harder.

This detailed Missouri River Fishing Map was created by local anglers who know the river firsthand—because they’ve spent decades fishing, floating, and exploring one of Montana’s most famous and productive tailwater fisheries.

Covering the Missouri River from below Holter Lake Dam downstream to Great Falls, this map clearly shows where you can legally access and fish the river across long, productive tailwater stretches and transitional sections approaching town. Public lands and access points are presented in a clean, easy-to-read format designed for real use on the water.

Tailwater Section – Below Holter Lake Dam

This map places special emphasis on the Missouri River tailwater below Holter Lake Dam, where cold, stable flows create exceptional year-round trout habitat. Heavily fished and highly regulated, this stretch demands clarity around access and land ownership—exactly what this map is designed to provide.

Access points, walk-in areas, and parking locations are clearly identified to help anglers move between sections efficiently and legally, especially through popular reaches near Craig and Wolf Creek.

What’s Included:

• Clearly marked public lands, including federal, state, county, and city ownership

• Public fishing access points from Holter Dam to Great Falls

• River miles, bridges, and key reference points

• Trails and walk-in access areas

• Parking locations not found on other maps, identified through local knowledge

• High-resolution cartography designed for outdoor navigation and trip planning

Why Anglers Love It:

Unlike generic fishing maps, this map focuses on tailwater access clarity and land-ownership boundaries, so you know exactly where you’re allowed to be—without confusion, clutter, or guesswork. The added parking data makes it easier to access productive water while respecting private land.
