The last week with the flu has left me feeling a little bit like the mini-van in the vid below…. The new week has dawned for the most part bright and sunny here in Bozeman this morning and we’ve been blessed with a call from a new fly fishing journalism friend who happens to be [...]

Jess has been out having some fun – some nifty coyote pics from the Lamar Valley taken a few days ago. Still down with the flu…tomorrow will be a recovery day. Pheasant hunt in the morning and turkey in the afternoon, Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise.
Dammit, I’ve got the flu. Back in a day or two. The wife’s new mantra – “don’t kiss me”. Damn.
Several friends of the blog have called or emailed this week to chide us a bit. We’ve been pretty light in the posting department here on the blog, and I think Al is the only guy who’s said much of us about rivers and fishing. Most of us go into a funk this time of [...]
Tester’s Forest Jobs and Recreation Act unquestionably has created some controversy – we’re impressed with the fact that they been able to get a very diverse group of folks to sit at the same table and chat about key issues. Is it perfect? Hell no. TU is behind it for good reasons, I think – [...]
On the road today – meeting with potential client in Gardiner, then on into Yellowstone (north entrance, Gardiner, Lamar Valley, Cooke City) – will have pics up late this evening or in the morning…..
There’s still some fishing to be done on the Bitterroot this week, and the weather forecast doesn’t look bad at all….. A couple of friends from Seattle have been trying to put a trip together to make a run over here, and they’ve been stymied at every turn. I told them that if they really [...]
Good news, bad news. The bad: Snow yesterday put a damper on things around here, and it’s cold this morning. The challenge the next few days might be the sun – it’s not great for seeing a blue wing now and then and chomps down on the streamer bite. The good: Check out the GF [...]
One of our team members – Jess – has launched a photography site and decided to get a bit more professional with her work – Fire Girl Photography. She primarily shoots the outdoor world, though just had several artsy images accepted in a juried show in Munich which will open in the next few weeks. [...]
Another short and sweet report today; there’s fishing to be done but you better be ready for some winter.
NOAA has recently posted information about what a cold October it was – here’s the link. Before the onslaught of emails chiding our mere mention of global climatology – save the pixels and bandwidth – we’ve heard the pitch of how the climate is still heating up despite it seemingly getting cooler. I’ll see your [...]

Talked to a couple who had been over on the lower Big Hole this past weekend. Sounds like they battled some wind but had a nice outing with several nice fish caught on streamers. The spent the majority of their day nymphing and consistently moved fish; there were a smattering of olives for an hour [...]
