    Ready, Set, Go !

     COLD FRONT ARRIVES

    Bit Of Snow Coming

    how's by the swede ??

    .. It's estuary time. There are cruising pods of trout - some with eyes up!  The neighbors are using an unusual local technique.

    .. Grab your biggest, fluffiest streamer and load it up with flotation stuff, (your choice.) Cast it far away. Keep it on top and twitch it a little just like you were in Louisiana and teasing a large mouth bass. Great takes and great fun.

    The Coming Attraction

     FINALLY ARRIVING

    End Of Fair Weather

    early snows dwindling

    ..

    -------  


    .. Our perfect fishing weather is coming to an end. It's just about a seasonal bullseye. We have enjoyed the last few weeks while lowlanders and new arrivals have moaned about brief snow piles.

    .. What ever you need to do without multiple layers  --  DO IT NOW. Roll up the hoses. Shutter the windows. Stack the wood. Check automobile fluids. Winter is bearing down on us. We're pleased.

    BIG DIP AHEAD

    DEADLY ACCURATE BOOM STICK


    .. Soon we will be tucked snugly in our igloos. Covid-19 will be stalking our every foray into the real world.

    .. The neighbors are relieved that the knuckle dragging, mouth breathing visitors are vanishing. We're lucky so far: no Covid-19 related deaths. Three of the neighbors are out of town in intensive care. We wish them well.

    BACK IN THE DAY


    .. We are looking forward to this coming isolation phase of our socioclimatic calendar.

    .. We'll tie a few flies. We'll attend to the rods, reels and, lines. We'll mend some clothes. We'll drag some hunting gear out of the vault and clean, oil, polish and coat some handsome stainless, blue and, camouflage metal.

    ..There is still time to torment a few trout. The big bend at Snow Flake Springs on the Gallatin River has quite a few submarines enjoying the food laden debris from the discharge.

    NEEDS ATTENTION !!

    .. The boat ramp area at upper Quake Lake has some cruising pods of pre-spawn fish that are aggressive and willing dance partners. Just down-lake a bit the delta gyre where Beaver Creek debouches into the lake has cruising monsters on their merry-go-round. They too are gobbling up sticks and other flotsam from the discharge.

    .. We now mention the verboten words: Duck Creek  &  South Fork of the Madison River. Each year about this time we incur the wrath of the neighbors for this mention of our home waters. But, fish are there and very rambunctious. We're headed out now.
