Map of Hanging Woman Creek

Hanging Woman Creek flows through southeastern Montana ranch country near the Wyoming border, eventually joining the Tongue River. This prairie stream offers seasonal fishing for channel catfish and occasional smallmouth bass. Low flows during summer can limit fishing opportunity. The creek runs through mostly private land with limited public access points. Spring runoff provides the best water conditions. The surrounding sagebrush country offers a remote fishing experience for anglers willing to seek permission from landowners.
