It was a fishy weekend with the festival in town and I was able to get in some fishing even though I didn't think I was going to. It is always a good day when you can do that!
Wow we really do live on Gods Country. The Middle Fork river was where I spent the beautiful day yesterday. This is one of the prettiest stretches of water, a great place to see.
I am trying to get out fishing as much as possible, not only because I love it but because I am still really learning. I need help still, get so frustrated and lose a lot of fish.
The season for dry fly fishing is finally here! I dry flied for my first time this year and it was awesome. Thanks to my friend Tommy Nichol, I was in a nice spot for fishy waters.
I can not believe our last and final tying night in Missoula is this week! It is bittersweet for me, it means tying is over but more fly fishing starts soon. This event has meant so much to myself and others that I can not thank everyone enough who has been involved one way or another.
There was a lot of people thinking we were crazy to go fly fishing and there was no open water (or at least any that was fish-able)... well we found some and yeah we might still be crazy.
I love to fly fish all year round and in the winter there is more then one worry and woe to think about while winter fly fishing. You have ice and cold water, changing conditions and bad weather, but there is one woe that stands out to me as the hardest one to deal with.
I have been really fortunate this year to go on some fishing trips that are priceless. Not all of them involve catching fish. There have been a lot of first for me too this year.
What a great float this is! I didn't realize this stretch of the Clark Fork was so nice to fish. Fall fly fishing is so much fun and learning to streamer fish is a blast.
