Dave Hartman, chum loyalist, fishes the Mo. Here's a video portal to his thoughts.
...actually, make that 0x - these fish ain't that smart.
Ever wonder how much railing would occur if these two dudes were into fishing? Well, wonder no longer - Undaunted Anglers walks you through it...
Fisheries biologists found healthy populations of rainbow trout in the Missouri River last fall when they conducted their annual rainbow trout census.
"In that Craig section, 78 percent of the population is greater than 16 inches; 65 percent is greater than 17 inches and 49 percent are greater than 18 inches."

For the second consecutive year, the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks fisheries survey on the Missouri found that the number of large rainbow and brown trout between Holter Dam and Cascade are up.
State biologists this fall found 3,458 rainbow trout longer than 10 inches near Craig. The long-term average of rainbows that size for that section is 2,917.
"The rainbows in the Craig section were remarkably high quality," said Grant Grisak, FWP fisheries biologist. "About 85 percent of the rainbows were 15 inches and larger, and fish in the 18-inch length group alone represented 24 percent of the total population."
The largest rainbow sampled was 4.8 pounds.
