Montana is a Big Place

I love my life in Montana, a place with long empty roads, and good people.

I live in Lincoln Montana, and fly fish my favorite waters, some more than others. the choices are actually more than I can to choose from.

Going fishing will always be just that. It is with good planning and a little luck. Planning is always very important part of my routine. I am older now and am slowing down more and more.

The last twelve months have been extraordinarily difficult. Fishing took a vacation for months, as our region was having constant snowstorms. Staying home, indoors became the norm for many months.

Now, this month and October should be excellent for fly fishing. It is always at this time that the brown trout become a bit larger as they come up to spawn. The cutties are fun to catch as the weather cools down. October Caddis is sometimes a great fly.

Animals are very common to see I shared a few moments with a large cow elk last week. I have fresh bear spray now. Consider yours before hitting the trail.

September is a month of change. The kids are back in school, summer vacations are over. Most fly fishers in Montana, serious fly fishers, head out to get great fishing time before darkness becomes a problem.
