Brian Signs

HB 190 NOW A LAW

.. Governor Brian Schweitzer signed HB 190 into law. He did it just after we chided him about it. Bless His Bippy. The best statewide news coverage was from KLUR-8 in Billings. It's a short and simple law. Every fly fisher in Montana should read it and abide by it.

.. Thanks, again, go to our hard working legislators; they took the conversational approach this session - unlike the confrontational approach of last session.

..

.. We anticipate a bumper crop of stiles to appear in the next few years. Stiles of all styles are an age-old commonwealth tradition. They are part of English common law.
.. We would love to see sportswomen and sportsmen rally 'round the concept in Montana. To coin a phrase: "Good stiles make good neighbors."
.. The folks in the UK have a long standing tradition of community involvement in stream grooming and maintenance. A bit of that would go a long way here. Check out the Penryth Anglers Online site for a stile building and stream maintenance work party.
.. As you read this the good folks in Livingston are cleaning up the Yellowstone River. Good going guys. April 22 is EARTH DAY.
.. If you need ideas about stiles just try Flickr HERE. Or Try Google images HERE.
