Forbes Magazine Ranks Missoula as One of North America's Top 10 Trout Towns!

Forbes just released its list of the Top 10 Trout Towns in North America - Missoula, Montana is on that list.

According to government statistics, some 11 million anglers in the U.S. and Canada search for that moment of beauty every year - fly fishing. President Obama joined the ranks recently when he fished for trout in Montana.

Forbes Magazine states:

Missoula is a laid-back college town with a serious trout-fishing addiction. Anglers can fish the bouldery Blackfoot (A River Runs Through It author Norman Maclean's home river) and the cottonwood-lined Bitteroot, both of which empty into the Clark Fork, named after explorer, William Clark, which has 300 miles of fishable water.

Missoula Montana (MT) is an amazing place to live and work. We are in a deep valley with three rivers the Clark Fork River, the Blackfoot River, and the Bitterroot River flowing through most of the County. Needless to say, Missoula is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise!

Missoula County is home to approximately 95,000 people in several welcoming communities. Communities include Missoula - the County Seat, Lolo, Frenchtown, Huson, East Missoula, and Bonner.

According to Kingfisher, one of Missoula's top Fly Shops,

In Missoula, Over 80% of our fishing is with dryflies. Montana has more miles of wild trout rivers than any other state in the lower 48 . . . by far! It's also true that the vast majority of these rivers just happen to be in the western part of the state.

Missoula has the reputation within the state of being the "banana belt" of Montana. This is because we have much milder winters than the majority of Montana, and a MUCH longer dryfly season than anywhere else in the country. Fish Missoula and see why it's the Crown Jewel of the Rockies!

All You Can Eat Fish & Chips - Fridays at O-Aces in Deborgia, Montana

Looking for a place to eat while traveling on I-90 to Missoula? Or if you're hungry after skiing at Lookout Pass, or from riding the Hiawatha Trail, in any case, a great place to stop is O-Aces in Deborgia, Montana.

They've got a good menu with everything from burgers to sandwiches to steaks. We love O-Aces for their Friday Night All You Can Eat Fish and Chips special.

Kevin spent a lot of time in England growing up and fell in love with fish and chips. The fish they serve at O-Aces is similar to that served in a good British Pub. They even have malted vinegar - a must have!

The restaurant serves homemade, real potato chips - not just your regular french fries!

O-Aces also has a gift store and antique shop, a bar with a full wine, beer, and drink selection, and a separate casino area with a wheel you can spin for match-play.
