Eat your dog (or cat) and save the planet? So say Victoria University professors Brenda and Robert Vale, a pair of university based architects who specialize in topics related to sustainable living. A friend, who begged to remain unnamed and will so as she has private land connections to a little known regional spring creek, [...]

The word is ‘yes’. The Bitterroot is still fishing well. We’ve had a good week (more or less) since the seasonable weather returned to the Bitterroot valley, though today and Saturday are both forecast to be windy with Saturday forecast (as least as of this morning) to be very windy. The blue wings and mahoganies [...]
The Park section of the Madison continues to fish well during these last weeks of the YNP fishing season, and as you might guess, the pressure is beginning to wane a bit. The opening of the big game hunting season this weekend will likely knock the number of anglers down another notch or two yet [...]
Like many most of the rivers we report on Henry’s the upper Henry’s in particular has seen its share of winter already this fall season. Now that the pattern is back to a more or less normal weather cycle for this time of year things feel a bit more fishable. Nights are chilly but [...]
With just under a couple of weeks left in the Park’s fishing season, yesterday Jake and I were able to break away from our respective families and work duties to hit the Park with the intent of fishing three different waters. Two were ‘drive-by’ fisheries that attract a lot of attention and to be honest [...]
I’m late today – meetings in Missoula and it took me a while to track down my daughter who fished the Clark Fork this weekend. She said the river (they were above Missoula) fished well during the afternoon with Mahoganies, best for them with sparkle duns and cripples. They found the best window from about [...]
The Gardner is almost done for the year. While there is still some good fishing to be had, things have really slowed down. Flows are down quite a bit, forcing anglers to work the pools and deeper runs more than usual. The upper river is done for this year. Down lower, keep an eye out [...]
Yesterday afternoon it was almost 70 in the Big Sky Meadow and down the road to the northern border of the Park on 191; with that kind of warmth, lots of sun and snow in the high country, Taylor Fork was pumping mud into the Gallatin – here’s a pic right taken literally right at [...]
Interesting post up on the Big Hole River Journal by the Great Divide Outfitter guys in Divide on the 14th…… A couple days ago I was convinced that I was going to close the shop for this season. It was bitter cold, the river was flowing slush ice bank to bank and I just figured [...]

Out for an early meeting this morning….
For a lot of folks who truly love to fish the Missouri, this is the time that they think about being on the water most of all. It’s been a hell of a year water and weather wise, and after going from summer almost straight to winter, we’re about to get some of that incredible [...]
I’ve got to agree this morning with my friends at the Kingfisher shop in Missoula – when you look at water temps, the Bitterroot has had the advantage over other waters in the area for most of the week. The warming weather and rain due over the next several days should produce some fine fishing [...]
I had the good fortune of enjoying lunch today with a several good folks and the subject of the how time was flying came up once again. All of us at the lunch gathering today are involved to varying degrees with fairly intensive work schedules and share a common interest in enjoying the great outdoors [...]
The Gallatin slowed down a bit with the cold weather we have been having. Actually, it slowed down a lot. Fish were still caught, to be sure, but anglers had to work harder for them. Personally, it seems a little early in the year to be breaking off out of my beard every fifteen minutes. [...]
