This photo was taken back in 2006, just after the Madison River opened up for the general season. We didn’t get pictures last season, which had higher water than that of 2006. Some of you have walked by this sign while fishing your way up the river. Once the river levels subside, there is quite a bit [...]

The blizzard which came through over the past fours days, bumped up the snowpack to respectable numbers. We are slowly getting it, but it will take all winter to accumulate a normal snowpack. The south entrance to YNP, near Flagg Ranch, has been hammered with snow over the past month. Once again, on the way [...]

…………………La Nina, that is……hmmm…..we haven’t either. She showed for a few days over the past 8 weeks, but overall she’s been absent for 2012. I heard BZN got some snow today, West Yellowstone called 1-3 inches….just a tease. Once in the Park, there seemed to be a bit more snow and everything looked clean. A fresh [...]

This morning we woke to a fresh white layer, but not as deep as was hoped for. Snow piled up through out the day, however it didn’t ever add up to much on the west side of Yellowstone National Park. It all helps, but a good winter storm would be a wonderful Christmas present. As the longest night [...]

The valley floor, just south of Ennis, is hardly covered with snow. Getting around the banks looked easy enough and if it warmed up a little, a quick float might be a good idea. The river look pretty sexy down here, but I chose not to wet a line this afternoon. The wind was sharp [...]

Stepping outside to snap this shot, with a quickness in my step, proved to be almsot too much this morning. 38 below…..and a blurred photo……too bad, it’s cold. I love winter, but this kind of cold is over the top. This is what makes all those second and third homes owners sell their place and [...]

Just before Thanksgiving, the kind folks over at Chi Wulff sent me 10 questions for my response. That interview went live yesterday and today, check it out here and here. Mark and his crew are based out of Bozeman and Austin, TX…..although I get the feeling they are ready to spend more time in Montana. Chi Wulff [...]
