MONTANA Missouri River Expeditions, Tim Plaska, 3 Lava Mountain Court North, Clancy, MT 59634, 406/ 449-6446 The Missouri River below Holter Dam in Montana is one of the premier dry fly streams in the West. It is a large, easily waded stream with perfect habitat for growing the aquatic insects that make the trout fat and sassy. Our recommended guide is Tim Plaska of Missouri River Expeditions. Chris and I found ourselves in extremely capable hands and we caught more fish because of it. Tim is mild mannered person who enjoys nothing more than seeing his clients catch fish. "The Inside Angler" filed a two-part update report on the Missouri appearing successively in Volume IX, Number 1 and 2, January 2000 and March 2000. e-mail: tim@MissouriRiverExp.com web site: www.MissouriRiverExp.com
