Archery season runs from September through mid-October and rifle season runs from mid-October through November. Outfitters and guides are available to help plan your Montana hunting adventure.

We offer fantastic opportunities for flyfishing and bait fishing. Trout of all varieties are the mainstay, but you can also land walleye, bass or pike. In winter, you’ll find many places to ice fish.
Here is just a small sample of the many great fishing spots in Russell Country:
*Ackley Lake State Park
Approximately 80 miles east of Great Falls, this is the perfect location to catch a 10- to 15-inch trout.
*Smith River
A 61-mile float trip down the Smith River Canyon offers ideal trout fishing. In order to preserve the area, a permit is required.
*Missouri River
The prime spot for trout in the Missouri is from Holter Dam to the town of Cascade, 25 miles southwest of Great Falls. The cold waters released by Holter provide excellent trout habitat. FREE TRAVEL PLANNER..
