This trip always surpasses everyone’s expectations, with an average of 15 wild rainbows and browns per person, per day on dry flies and more if your skill level is good.  The Missouri at this time is a ”kick ass” river with sipping trout all day through dark!  Our guides are the best on the river (we float 5 consecutive days). The guides will also wade if you like.  I also make special arrangements to float until dark, a rarity on the Missouri.  We usually fish two sessions per day; 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and then again 6:30-10:00 PM to catch the incredible caddis hatches in the evening.  My guides receive extra compensation for this service.  Practically every guide on the Missouri is off the river by 6:00 PM , so we have the river practically to ourselves on the evening floats.   (click here to see photos from previous trips)

For the 7^th consecutive season I’ve made arrangements so that anyone who would like to can fish the “Land of the Giants” where you will hook 20”-28” wild browns and bows on dry flies, nymphs or streamers according to the conditions, absolutely incredible!  This is an area that is difficult to get to and requires special boats, hence, I am relegated to one boat per day.  The remaining 4 float days will be on my favorite stretches of the Missouri, floating and wading the ultimate dry fly river, the famous 35 miles of the big Missouri from the tailwater at Holter Dam to Cascade, where you will sight fish for hot browns and bows 16”-24+” with “match the hatch” dry flies Click Here to learn why Al Caucci Montana Trips are Incomparable!!

We will stay in a great place called Woodcock Lodge which fits 10 people comfortably. I also rented the log cabin next door which fit’s another 3 people. There are 4 ½ baths, air conditioning and humidity control, excellent dining facilities and 2 living rooms. Both buildings sit side by side and are right on the river, with beautiful views of the river and mountains and great fishing outside the door, where our chef cooks and serves wonderful breakfasts, dinners and barbeques.  Steaks, chops, roasts, chicken, ribs with all the trimmings, plus homemade baked cakes, pies, muffins – and plenty of it.  So, it’s great fishing, great guides, good food, wine and upscale accommodations.  Trip includes 5 full guided floats on the Missouri tail water between Holter Dam and Cascade, MT, also includes one float day in the “Land of the Giants”. That’s 2 persons per guide. Trip also includes: 6 nights accommodations on the river, 2 persons per room, food, including wines, beer and drinks and riverside lunches.

Everything is included except air fare and tips for the guides.  Cost for the 6 night, 5 guided day program (double occupancy) is $3390.  $1,500 deposit is required at registration.
