Holter Lake & Missouri River Montana

The boys and I met my best friends Katie and Angie for the weekend at Holter Lake, some of the best fishing in the area.  Supposedly you can catch up to 20" rainbow trout.  I trailed the boat with the boys and we camped along Prickly Pear Creek.  There were so MANY fish jumping around us all weekend and the boys and I had no luck.  Katie caught 3 small rainbow trout and we cooked them for breakfast.  She is quite the fisherwoman!  We camped 2 nights along this creek and it was the most perfect site.  We had our own swimming hole and cliff area.  The second day we floated on the Missouri River which comes out of Holter Lake.  This was my first float without dad and it empowered me to do it more.  Fishing aint no guy sport anymore!  This was the last time I was going to see Angie for a while for she took a travel nursing position in Idaho, so this trip was a must.  Its getting close to the end of summer for Tristan starts school in less than a week.  I saw a decent size buck and two bald eagels sitting together. AMAZING!
