Many of us who incorporate a faith practice into our lives find the Easter morning sunrise to hold special significance; if you’re among that cadre, all the best to your and yours today, with hopefully time with family and a great meal on the docket. All the best as well to those for whom it’s […]
Pic of the Day
When this image by Cam Coffin popped up in the Blue Ribbon Flies (West Yellowstone) newsletter this week I had to ask if I could share it here – what a great pic. If you’re not on their weekly newsletter email list, sign up here off their main landing page, and be sure and check […]
Jess (Jess McGlothlin Media) is just back from a few days in Belize and was kind enough allow me to share a few images from her trip – fishy stuff to follow.
Several of the newspapers in Montana have recently run a nifty image series covering ice features on many of Montana’s rives and lakes. See it in the Missoulian here (their image above from the linked story).
Off our normal routine today – driving across Montana from one family visit to another (headed to Missoula this morning). The Madison looked prime as we crossed it near Three Forks… Back to normal programming shortly.
Rivers blown out? Time to lace up the hiking boots, pack the creekin’ rods, and hit the high country. Kaitlyn McGlothlin works the seams of a high feeder creek somewhere in the Yellowstone River valley out of Livingston. Image Jake McGlothlin.
Sunrise on the Madison in Yellowstone can be magical. The throngs of driving tourists, most of whom will never leave a paved surface during their visit to The Park, are still snug in their beds. Fishers and photographers might be up and about, but there’s plenty of room to find a spot to imagine you’re […]
Probably the nicest guy we met during our stay in Alabama was Walter D, a new friend of Chi Wulff who fishes Montana a fair bit (part time resident of the Madison Valley). He sent this pic over a couple of days ago – this was his first fish, and best of the trip – […]
You only get two days off a week. Fishing is good. It’s hunting season. You have a choice. Do you go after these: Or these: Make your decision and make it well. Fall is fleeting.
What better way to end a great day on the river with good people than with a sunset like that? Sadly all I had on me was my iPhone and it doesn’t even come close to capturing the grandeur of such a sight. I can honestly say this was one of the most impressive sunsets […]
Jess (Jess McGlothlin Media) spent the past week in Alaska at Bristol Bay Lodge (see yesterday’s post) and brought over 3000 images home that made it through the first rounds of editing. Gotta love the shot with the fry / smolts and the mature fish below; the river nurseries feeding Bristol Bay are nothing short […]
The Fourth of July is always a fun day. Especially when you get to spend it in beautiful places with good people. Shane and Patrick talked me into driving to Ennis after work and joining them and a few others for the rodeo and then a late float. I was a little hesitant due to […]
It was on the Upper Madison, between the lakes. Never have I seen a fish fight like this one did. What a monster. One that will live in legend forever. It takes real talent to catch fish like that…
You’ve been watching him for ten minutes now. He’s over there, on the far side of the seam. It’s a long cast, not accounting for the drag from the current. You won’t get a very long drift over there. What’s he eating? You watch him eat a couple more times. Oh yeah, you’ve got some […]
Don’t you hate it when you forget the net? You try to grab your catch and he just keeps slipping right out of your hands… It also doesn’t help when your quarry is a feisty Yellowstone Cutthroat. I’m missing the warm summer days of chasing these guys in Hyalite Reservoir. It’ll be here before we […]
