We've Finally Landed!

It seems like we've been on a long flight and we've finally landed at the place we want to be - Montana! Where the river is bone-chilling and the fish are finicky! There is more snow remaining on the surrounding mountains than we've ever seen. This makes for muddy rivers in some places because of the run-off. However, the river we fish, the one practically outside our door, runs clear from the Clark Canyon Reservoir. There is also a natural spring just upstream from where we fish that makes for some even chillier currents. We fished on Friday the 13th and we both caught fish! It was a great day and one that we have been contemplating for the past 5 months. Here is one very shiny rainbow trout. No, we did not keep it, but as usual, we released it.
