Question:
Can anyone suggest a few places not too far from I-15 or I-90 or
highway 93 that might offer me a taste of Montana stream fishing?
Answer:
Yes, at the town of Melrose. Try to stay below Divide as the water is really
low and actually the upper river is closed due to low flow. See
http://www.fwp.state.mt.us/drought/closures.asp . Also, from I-90, consider
the upper Clark Fork near Warm Springs (refer to your fishing regs once you
get here, there are some ponds and some river) and the Little Blackfoot near
Garrison. Of course, there is always the Big Blackfoot and Rock Creek
