New Faces

I must begin today's post by relaying this extremely important message: Montana is awesome!! In the past week I have seen almost a dozen moose, bald eagles, forty-leven fawns in the river bottom and caught some absolutely amazing trout. The fishing has finally reached an acceptable level, one that is keeping me happy on a daily "guiding" basis. The fish have moved into the places where they are "supposed" to be and are starting to bite the flies that I select. All in all, the past few weeks have been great. The sandal tan has set in deep and is most definitely a permanent fixture, unlikely to fade with time. Yesterday brought some great clients in the boat, a father and son from Casper, WY. A trip that Rooster didn't want to take because he didn't know them. Turns out meeting new people is not always a bad thing. These guys can huck it! "throw it under that tree branch, but not into the bushes!" Ker-plunk!! A perfect cast every time!! and it paid off for them. These boys were used to mountain streams and 9 inch trout. Needless to say we did a might better than that, putting over 20 lbs. of fish in the boat before lunch!!
