See full state regulationsThe Ruby River near Alder in the Ruby Valley is a classic Montana spring creek and freestone hybrid offering excellent fishing for wild brown and rainbow trout in a pastoral setting. The river meanders through agricultural land and public access sites, with clear water and abundant aquatic insect life supporting healthy trout populations. Evening caddis and PMD hatches in summer bring large fish to the surface for memorable dry fly fishing.
