Almost heaven. Real close to paradise. Nearly nirvana.
How fortunate are we that we get to live in Montana and pursue our dream of fly fishing the entire summer in such a glorious place?
Today, although crowded most of the time, I really enjoyed myself and realized that everyone is here to have a good time. Some are driven to catch the biggest fish that they can. Some are here for the companionship. Some are here for the peace and tranquility of the great outdoors. Hard to find tranquility when it's crowded, but everyone was cordial, some were helpful, and a few were very friendly.
We made new friends and saw many old fishing pals that we hadn't seen in a long while. Because most of the other rivers in the area are "blown out", there were a ton of people here hoping to catch the fish of their life.
There were so many people upstream that it looked like a free casting clinic was happening.
It was sort of a slow fishing day for me, probably because there was a lot of activity going on around me. I was distracted, but mostly by the muskrat, river otters, and colorful song birds that live on the river. Not even the fish could keep my attention for long. It's wonderful being here.
