Yellowstone River July 29

The Yellowstone River has finally dropped to fishable levels! Conditions are green with about two feet of visibility, and clearing by the day. Though the fishing is good now, we should see this river really turn on any day now. If you go, you should be thinking high water tactics. The trout are pushed up against the banks and looking for buggers and caddis nymphs. Get there before the crowds do.

2011 Montana Fly Fishing Season

The Montana fly fishing guides at the Bozeman Angler are excited to announce that 2011 will be one of the best years for fly fishing in the Gallatin Valley in recent memory. This year’s winter was snowy and cold, which means a deep snow-pack and a high runoff that will start as soon as within the week. This will ensure excellent fly fishing on the Madison, Yellowstone, and Gallatin rivers starting as early as June and continuing late into the fall, so if even if you can't book a trip or make the time to visit Bozeman, MT before then, never fear. The fly fishing will still be phenomenal.

Feather hair extensions???

Have you guys heard about this new fad that has fly shops and fly tiers standing on their tying bench yelling, "What the hell!"? Apparently, young fashionable women all over the country are lashing long colorful feathers in their hair and calling them, feather hair extensions. No big deal right? It's just another goofy phase that will go just as quickly as it came.

Texas Quail hunt

It's February, Its cold as hell, and I needed a taste of some warm weather and an activity that didn't involve skis or standing in a slushy river. So my wife, Sarah, and I headed south to Texas for some much needed family time and a good old fashioned quail hunt. I grew up in Michigan where my dad taught me to hunt for grouse and wood cock in woods so thick that if you did jump a bird you may never see it. But if you did get a glimpse of the fleeing critter, you had better get some lead in the air, cuz a glimpse may be all you get.

Back on the water 2-10-11

Dang man! Before yesterday it had been about three months since I had a fly rod in my hand.  Not only that but I think this is the first time that I haven't fished every month of the yeat since I started fly fishing and I was starting to feel like crap about it. So yesterday, shop rat and self proclaimed trout bum, Jason Denny, decided it was time I got off my duff and went to the lower Madison for a few hours.  Other than the cold the conditions were as good as it gets.
