Madison – 78% Gallatin – 76% Jefferson - 81% …….not too bad compared to where we were sitting just a couple of weeks ago. Of course, the actual snowfall is about 10 percentage points higher, but moisture content is what really matters. Like I have said before; the months of Feb, March, April and May will give [...]

My opinoin will come out shortly……..this process is going to create some drama, that’s for sure. FOAM will be involved. Your opinoin, what ever it may be, is needed. In the months to come, [...]

Bill Cave & Friends just finished up their third trip the Missouri River in as many years. They love the fall for its solitude and the possibility of superb fishing. Weather can make or break a trip in October. Last year, in October, the group got the short end of the stick with the weather. [...]
