Photos from Missoula March 2011

Fellow Extravaganzers:

 

One of the (many) beautiful things about Montana is that, except on some of the tributary spawning creeks, there is no “fishing season”—every day on the Bitterroot River is a fishing day and, yes, as attested to in the attached photos, fish do eat during the winter months…even the big ones!!  

 

While I don’t have the measurements of the fish shown above, I can tell you from experience that there are at least two 20 inchers among the bunch caught by Group One’s Brian “Moraine” Shepard and son Josef “Fear The Beard” Shepard—way to go guys!!  The two of them are resident this week in our collectively owned Blackfoot Tree House (which, yes, is now finally done in all particulars) and neither rain, sleet nor snow (and they have already witnessed all three of them!) have interfered with this year’s early spring skwala hatch…dry flies on the Bitterroot; what a beautiful sight that be!!

 

Best to all in the early warm up stage of it all,
