Last night’s rain turned into today’s snow. It has been heavy at times and the high country is getting hammered. Keep dancing, it’s working. I am preparing for a 5 day float trip on Montana’s Smith River. With any luck, we won’t have to float during weather pictured above. Don’t get me wrong, I want [...]

Rain is tapping hard on the roof tonight. Has for about the last two hours or better. Windy as shit too. It’s hanging around 37 degrees, but it should drop below freezing by morning.

Those damn fly cups….. Since the wind won’t let up today, spoiling my angling efforts, I decided to finally sift through all the fly cups which accumulated last season. 39 cups total. Most guides will work out of these cups all season long, as its too much of a pain in arse to organize these during the season. I love [...]

The Buzzball Cripple My buddy Mark Raisler, co-owner of Headhunters Fly Shop, showed me Lafontaine’s Buzzball a bunch of years while on the Missouri….he may have still been cooking at The Trout Shop Cafe at that time.
