Montana Small Stream Fishing Report

This Montana small stream fishing report is valid October 5 until sometime in June, 2026.

Montana small streams are now generally too low and cold to make sense as fisheries. The largest mountain creeks like Mill Creek might still turn on for an hour or two on warm afternoons, but that’s it.

 

Note: We update our general fishing report far more often than our fishery-specific reports like this one, especially between November and April.
