This shaggy cat lived on the banks of the Missouri River for a couple years. And caught a ton of trout. A throwback hunter and gatherer Patrick is back int eh work force, begrudgingly. Trout bums seems to be few…
The water is up since the last report, since the last weekend, since the last snow and wind and rain events. Tonight? The Fly Fishing Film Tour stops into Great Falls at the Hilton Garden Inn @ 7:30pm. But the…
Friday Foto from out here west of the Mississippi, east of the Continental Divide on Montana’s Missouri River. We are gliding through the winter happier than shit. Not many folks around this winter due to the extreme cold. Oh, and…
Bring your sweetie to the the Missouri for the weekend! Why not, you got Monday off and the wind shouldn’t blow too hard. Honest. Had a number of whack jobs here this week fishing in the wind, the rain, the…
Slushy, frigid, icebergs drifting down the river. Cold all over. It’ll be a few days until we get to fish the entire river. The lower is littered with ice. Per the blog yesterday by John. More like normal winter weather…
A bundle of folks on the water yesterday. Today? Not as many. When the weather warms you Montanans exit your households and wander towards a winter fishery like the Missouri River. We got the hot free perked coffee for you.…
A shot from the lower river. Awesome. Love the lower river. It’s damn nice. Differing characteristics make the Missouri a must. Yah, tell your wife you must come this summer. We can write a doctor’s note if that will help……
Snow on the ground today. Snowed Friday afternoon, Saturday, and some today as well. This image from last week looking toward Wolf Creek Bridge west of the river. It looks just like this today, but with snow. It’s cold too.…
The damn weather is the only variable that can really screw up the day. The fishing is just fine. Water temps in the 34F range with the winter flows at or about the 3K level. And holding on both accounts.…

Cool this morning. But only in the mid 20’s. It’s been much colder than that the last couple weeks. Still not many around. Hibernation I guess. Friday Foto from your favorite river. Montana’s Missouri River.
Ahh, summer dry fly days. Posted up on rising trout. No rush. They are feeding. No rush here this winter either. The fish are trapped in the river. The water temps are currently in the 35F range. Pretty cold. Silly…
You may remember this image in the summer. It was warmer. Much warmer. Planning for your summer, your Missouri River summer of 2014? It is not too early. In fact, the lodging and guiding choices in June, July, and August…
Still miserably cold here on Montana’s Missouri River. Still beautiful though. Love looking at the scenery through the comfort of the windshield. With the heat blasting. The truck does not want to start during this deep freeze. At all. Silly…
We are cold too. The river temps dipped to 37F this past 4 days. It should stay in that range for months. The water flows are up to 4120cfs and…? You? Work on those fly boxes for the coming week.…
