Damn, Damn, Damn…

in So What?

Dammit, I’ve got the flu. Back in a day or two. The wife’s new mantra – “don’t kiss me”. Damn.

Ever have one of those days where the harder you try to solve a problem the further the solution seems to run away? That was my day yesterday. We had an early start around my camp around 0500 as She Who Must Be Obeyed was up early to meet Jess and hit the road for […]

From the weekend WSJ –  It’s Fish Versus Farmers in the San Joaquin Valley. Years ago many a bullet was fired over water rights in the West – today instead of bullets armies of lawyers line up and throw someone else’s money at one another.

Quick road trip today to meet with John Juracek and a few others in West Yellowstone about a project we’re working on. Should be a nice drive up the Gallatin (when is it not) and we’ll probably detour for a quick drive down the Madison in the Park – today is a working day and […]

I’m leaving Bozeman this morning with friends at or before 7 to hit Slough Creek and maybe the Lamar or Pebble – if things work according to schedule we should be able to catch the Gray Drakes…. Mark will have the new camera on the Madison today, but I’ll try and get a bucket full of decent […]

Jake and I ran to Missoula yesterday to accomplish a few different objectives; we were helping Jess move back to Bozeman and looking at venues for a film project we’re working on. I’ve never really done this before – we kept a running list of the fishable water that we saw during the drive from […]

Like many of my friends and neighbors who fish Montana streams and rivers year round, the weeks from early February to late March or some years even early April can seem like a millennium.  Don’t get me wrong – winter in Montana brings with it a host of fun things to do that aren’t river […]

The day we have all been waiting for is here.  Opening day in this part of the world is considered an almost religious holiday, whether it is the trout season opener, Yellowstone opener, elk opener and so on.  On this special day, we are showcasing two days worth of stuff for the price of one in The Twelve […]

Getting close – the sun is out and the birds are singing this morning in Bozeman.  The Twelve Days of Yellowstone – Day 11:  On the eleventh day of Yellowstone my fishing buddy gave to me – Eleven fishers casting Ten Tourists Tripping Nine Dancing Drakes Eight Brookies Biting Seven Swans a-Sunning Six Geese a-Swimming […]

In honor of some of the idiots blocking the road to get pictures of bison in Yellowstone this morning, here is The Twelve Days of Yellowstone-Day 10: On the tenth day of Yellowstone my fishing buddy gave to me – Ten Tourists Tripping Nine Dancing Drakes Eight Brookies Biting Seven Swans a-sunning Six Geese a-Swimming Five […]

Thinking of clear waters and big bugs – here’s the Twelve Days of Yellowstone – Day 9: On the ninth day of Yellowstone my fishing buddy gave to me – Nine Dancing Drakes Eight Brookies Biting Seven Swans a-sunning Six Geese a-Swimming Five Golden Rings Four Rising Cutthroat Three bald eagles Two golden stones And […]

We’ve just received an insider tip on the target of the next bailout / rescue by the current administration.  We know Red Leader and he escorted “The One” on a recent tour of the Death Star.  Expect Death Star stock to rebound today.

We return to a fishing theme today with the continuation of the Twelve Days of Yellowstone – Day 8: On the eighth day of Yellowstone my fishing buddy gave to me – Eight Brookies Biting Seven Swans a-sunning Six Geese a-Swimming Five Golden Rings Four Rising Cutthroat Three bald eagles Two golden stones And a Winston […]

To brighten your Monday in the office or wherever today –   another more traditional take today on the Twelve Days of Yellowstone – Day 7: On the seventh day of Yellowstone my fishing buddy gave to me – Seven Swans a-sunning Six Geese a-Swimming Five Golden Rings Four Rising Cutthroat Three bald eagles Two golden […]
