A couple of buddies and I are planning a trip to Montana in the spring or early summer (May, June). We will probably stay in the Missoula area. The plan is to fish for at least five days. I have a few questions that I would like to hear opinions on.

1. I have a drift boat. Is it worth it to take it along considering the shuttle hassle(only taking one vehicle)? If yes on the boat, what are some good rivers with fairly easy drifts(have drifted Nooch, Satsop, Hump, Cow, Yak ect.)?

2. If no on the boat, how much of the public access areas have good fishing water. Also, any of the rivers better suited for walking.

3. None of us does much fly fishing and would like to fish with spinners as we normally do. Anyone had success with spinners? If so, types, colors, and sizes would be appreciated.

Thank in advance for any help.
