Private land is the way to go if you can get on. Montana has a "High water mark" law that says a fisherman can walk any land in Montana as long as they don't go past the high water flood mark. You have to stick to the banks and can't go past the high water mark though and can't cross private land to get to it. As long as you find a public access and start walking the bank, you're safe.
Mel Gibson had a huge ranch about 45 miles from here that I fished before he bought it, but it was closed after he got it. It sold last month to a friend of mine so I am able to get back on. It is on the Stillwater river and no one has fished it for 12 years. I can wait to drift some flies on that water within the next two weeks.
