September 2009

Stuck in the office here in Bozeman on what should be the first real BWO day of the fall season.  Damn.
A quick scan of some of my favorite sites during an early lunch (waiting on ad copy for further design work) led to some further serious time wasting and discovery of a new, interesting and [...]

This last day of September has brought with it fall.  As I am looking out my window right now, it is snowing.  And snowing pretty hard.  Fortunately, there is not as much snow on the ground as the above picture, taken a few winters ago in West Yellowstone.  Its a start, though.  Kind of strange to [...]

The Madison in the Park has enjoyed one of the better Septembers in recent memory in terms of fun and productive fishing – there have been good numbers of runners (rainbows and browns) and active fishing despite the bright sunshine dominating the weather for almost the entire month.

Finally, the forecast shows something that we want to see!  From tomorrow on through the rest of the week temperatures are going to come down quite a bit and there is a possibility of rain and/or snow.  The fall weather is going to kick things into high gear on the rivers.

Wednesday will likely be one of those days Firehole fans been looking for – a long awaited cool, cloudy and rainy day.
The Firehole has been quite fishable given the smattering of Baetis coming off and fairly robust White Miller Caddis hatches coming off on the sunny warm days that have graced the neighborhood for the [...]

The Clark Fork is fishing decently these days; to be honest none of my crew was able to get out on the water this weekend (my daughter was in Boise on business with the family), and I was on the Missouri with friends.
Sounds like the upper most and lower most sections of the river have [...]

The Beaverhead needs a week or so of consistent cool weather before it really picks back up.  The fishing has been pretty decent, but is only going to get better later this fall.  The fish are being picky, and they can pull it off with all the food choices open to them right now.
The upper [...]

Lot’s of folks who love to fish the Big Hole are looking forward to the weather change due this week – the forecast looks better and better every time I look at it.
The forecast for Divide looks a lot like the rest of the neighborhood, sunny today and tomorrow with temps still unseasonably warm, with [...]
