Damn!
Via The Big Picture
Last night I had the enlightening opportunity to visit with my good friend, sometimes mentor and sometimes antagonist, Al the Pal from Hamilton. Regular readers of our blog know that Al has spent his life running a family ranch in the Bitterroot Valley and that he’s a diehard fly fisherman with a good sense of […]
Due to all the rain in recent days, the Gallatin has blown back out. Taylor Fork is pumping a lot of mud into the rivers, as are all of the feeder creeks and tribs. Flows have bumped back up almost to the 80th percentile. Clarity is gone, all of several inches right now. Before the […]
Being fairly avid fly fisher folk, we tend to scrimp, save, hoard, and barter for new gear related to fishing first, river running second, and other outdoor related stuff third. Other life needs such as shelter, vehicles, food, computers, etc. are ranked on a much lower scale. This has been known to engender some […]
From the road yesterday. 3 Dollar. Bugs galore. Magnifico.
The Lamar is still running at over 3,600 cfs, with it remaining over the 80th percentile for flows this time of year. It could be fishable in some places in a week or so, but don’t even think about it now. Damn.
Jake and I had the chance to run over to the Park on Friday afternoon; it was one of those last minute things after a business trip I had planned was cancelled at the last minute. We left Bozeman in bright sun and temps climbing through the 70s (enough to make a fat guy sweat) […]
Couple of non-fishing vids for the weekend. First, for you non-pedestrian fly fisher folk out there – here’s an ad from The Big Apple… More importantly, for you single guys out there – watch out for this new piece of legislation being debated… Nation’s Girlfriends Unveil New Economic Plan: ‘Let’s Move In Together’
I have a confession to make. I am a black sheep – the confirmed black sheep of not only my own extended family, but particularly my wife’s as well. I might qualify as a stealth black sheep in some folks’ eyes given my educational and professional pedigree; but don’t be fooled, I am a genuine […]
Ever get a little too much on your plate? Like the giant hamburger (I suggest the ‘Cardiac Arrest’ at Burger Bob’s when you’re in Bozeman) that takes two waitresses to carry out to the table……. Too much on our plates describes the situation that at least Jake and I have been in over the past […]
Mark and I just got back from another delightful afternoon on the Gallatin. We took his advice and decided to risk fishing on Mother’s Day. After some deliberation about destination, as there usually is, the Gallatin Canyon won out over other choices. Neither one of us had been up there in the past few weeks […]
