Ho Ho Ho!

Merry Christmas to all from the frozen north.

It’s a chilly -4 this Christmas Eve morning in Bozeman.  Thanks to yesterday’s 4 or 5 inches of new snow it looks as if the neighborhood has been scrubbed clean and whitewashed for the holiday.

Thanks to all who have emailed, called, etc. to make sure we’re still alive and kicking up here – the last few weeks have been chock full of work and not enough play as we wind up some projects at year end.

Our entire team hopes the holidays bring you joy and time to enjoy family and friends.   She Who Must Be Obeyed and I are hosting most of the Chi Wulff gang tonight for tamales and gifts and have an outdoor play day planned tomorrow…..

Another note to cheer all fisherfolk – winter solstice the afternoon of the 21^st marked a turn to the new season.  To hell with the concept of the New Year – we’ve already made the turn toward longer days and a new fishing season.  Interestingly we don’t start adding daylight minutes back in the morning here for several weeks, though the afternoon sun is already spending a minute or two more with us each day.

It feels better already.

I can already visualize spring BWOs and Mother’s Day Caddis hatches….hot damn.

Did manage to escape for a drive through the Madison and Gallatin valleys yesterday afternoon on the hunt for some water pics  – it was breezy with temps. in the 13 to 14 degree range therefore no fishing was done.

The views in the Madison Valley were jaw-dropping as always. (Almost passed up the shots of the late day sun on the hills from the corral yesterday – ALWAYS stop and get the pic when in doubt. There were better pics that just might be on next year’s Christmas cards….)

Hope Santa is good to you and yours this year.
