(Late Friday PM, Craig, Montana.) We’re starting up a busy weekend here at the shop. Shuttle runs totaled seventeen for today, and we’re anticipating a busy holiday weekend.
It doesn’t hurt that the fishing has been stellar. Nymphing, as the boys put it, is “as good as it gets.”
The weather has been ideal – days edging near 60; partly cloudy with light winds.
At Headhunters, the phone has been ringing off the hook with bookings, and we’re starting to see more and more people walk in the shop doors from across Montana and beyond.
I’m in the middle of a nine-day straight work streak at Headhunters, which means between the shop, the highway and Fire Girl work, I have no life.
Nothing terribly new there.
I am hoping, however, to escape and do some fishing of my own this weekend after work. It’s staying light later and later – fishable until past eight o’clock now.
Working also means the camera has had a bit less opportunity to get the camera out and about, but it’s been tagging along on shuttle runs with me and I’ve been able to snap a few images here and there. A quiet moment in the shop this evening produced these images.
It’s all about taking opportunities when you get them.
If you’re fishing the Missouri and see a shuttle chick running around with a Patagonia sub divider bag over one shoulder, say hey. That would be me.
