Missouri River Lodge & X-Stream Fly Fishing

I have fly fished all over Europe and the US and this is hands down the best lodge I have ever fished with. I took a friend and we had the distinct pleasure of getting to fish with Joe Bloomquist, who is by far the best guide I have fished with. He knows the river inside and out and will put 100% into making sure you catch fish and have a great time. Once we were done hammering the Rainbow's, we went back to the lodge and were greeted by Lindsay, who is simply put...THE BEST!! She is an awesome cook and is so hospitable. This was my first time with Missouri River Lodge but I can guarantee you it will be a yearly trip from now until I'm dead. I live a very stressful lifestyle and I've never felt more relaxed then I did fishing with Joe and getting to converse with Lindsay. I don't give 5 stars unless it is warranted and I assure you, you won't be disappointed.

Joe and Lindsey are such great people to have as your hosts on the Missouri River! The lodge was super comfortable and clean. It was a great weekend getaway with the wife. Highly recommend this place. P.S. food was excellent!

We just returned from fishing with Missouri River Lodge folks and their excellent guides...It was a fabulous experience...guides were so helpful...Lindsey is a beautiful, creative chef with an engaging personality. Rooms were comfy and well appointed. There were 10 in our party and we all rebooked for next year! Betsy S.

Joe knows the river, and fly fishing, on the highest level. I love fishing with him. Not just because he puts you on fish (which he DOES), but he will teach you how to be a better fisherman (if you want him to). Lyndsay has thought of every detail and makes your stay a true vacation. I look forward to this trip every year, I wish I could go more often.

You will not find a better guide than Joe. Lindsey makes the BEST lunches as well. Joe worked extremely hard for us and we had an incredible day with many huge, beautiful rainbows. Thanks so much!

These Lodge Owners are so hospitable. Joe & Lyndsay Bloomquist are so great with their guests, we are honored to help them with their business driving MRL customers to and from the Lodge.

Our family have fished with the Bloomquests 4+ times. Great fishing, unbelievable food and accommodations not to mention the wonderful atmosphere. My in laws are in their 80's and the float trips were easy for them...... Can't wait to go back!!!

Lindsay and Joe are top notch hosts, cook and fishing guide

Joe and Lindsey run a top notch lodge.

Great food, fishing, guiding. Doesn't get any better.

We can't say enough about the wonderful hospitality and great fishing.

Great fishing. Amazing hospitality.

We had a group of 3 fathers and sons in the bunk house for 3 days of fishing. The first two days were wonderful. The third day we went to the Land of Giants. Joe was our guide. The fishing was excellent, with lots of big fish being caught. Joe did a great job and worked hard to get us on fish. Joe, however, is a first-class jerk. He was borderline abusive to my son, yanking the rod out of his hand and yelling at him about his technique. He spent much of the ride to the boat ramp complaining about other clients. He made a great fishing trip unenjoyable.
