That's become a mouthful.....) just announced that they've struck a deal with United to offer non-stop service from the NYC area to Bozeman. Airport director, Brian Sprenger, relayed yesterday that an agreement is now in place with United to... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/2251 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Wed, 1 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/2251 Just got word today of the official viewing date for this winter's Fly Fishing Film Tour or F3T. Friday night Feb 17th at the Emerson in Bozeman. For one night a winter it's a quick $15 fix to go see the world via fly fishing. I'm in. Pretty psyched to see a couple of the flicks. Sipping... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/2146 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Wed, 21 Dec 2011 09:00:00 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/2146 Winter Solstice. The shortest day of the year. It's officially the first day of a long, long Winter. And only a couple days until Christmas. Mid-summer & floating down the Yellowstone casting big foam grasshopper patterns towards the banks seems a long ways off- on either end. This... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/2073 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:30:00 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/2073 A client of ours sent us this picture recently. Just because it's really late into Fall throughout the North country right now, doesn't mean everyone has hung up the long rod. Well, for most places anyway. It actually feels a lot more like Winter here in Montana....Skiing's not a bad option.... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1848 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Sun, 14 Aug 2011 16:26:00 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1848 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1837 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Wed, 3 Aug 2011 16:13:55 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1837 We have a few more brave souls book trips into the darkness over the past week...and it continues to be rewarding. Big browns eat MEAT! And ones like this do not typically feed during the day. Trips available nightly. Are you ready? http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1835 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Sun, 31 Jul 2011 18:09:19 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1835 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1830 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Wed, 20 Jul 2011 17:59:58 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1830 When the sun goes in Montana, the wolves of our rivers come out to play. There is nothing more exhilirating than hearing a two footer crush your mouse in the dead quiet of the night. It is sometimes hard to decide whether to set the hook or run away screaming. Client, Darren Dobrinski chose... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1821 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Fri, 15 Jul 2011 18:27:36 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1821 Oh brother! What a cluster! It all started when a couple of guides, Lee Kinsey, my son and I were out checking on a new piece of water that we have for the year as well as dropping in on another section to see how it's looking. With all the high water we've had this year, timing has been a... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1814 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:57:27 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1814 I've been fishing here for around 8 years now. There are a few fish I've released and many more that I've never touched that are engrained in my mind. However I without fail remember the first instance a Salmon fly crawls up my leg every year. The noise I make is a terrified shrill that would be... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1791 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Mon, 27 Jun 2011 17:15:32 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1791 We love to fish. We also love the "stuff" that goes along with fishing. The cool thing about the fly fishing industry is that there are so many terrific companies that are just as committed to the lifestyle and honor of flyfishing. It's not about turning over a product or a margin. Scott Fly... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1769 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Tue, 7 Jun 2011 18:57:22 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1769 Jeff and I just got back from SE Idaho. We were in Ashton at the Patagonia rep's ranch for the weekend along with quite a few other Patagonia dealers, fly shop gurus, and fishing guides previewing next year's fishing gear. YC even made it. As in the big guy, the owner of Patagonia, Yvon... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1768 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Sat, 28 May 2011 17:43:21 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1768 It's late May. Snow continues to pile up in the mountains. It's not coming down. The river is big, but not big enough- yet. It's going to really rip soon. Like we haven't seen in a decade! Today's too nice to be sitting inside just thinking about being on the water. Somewhere, anywhere. ... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1755 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Thu, 12 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1755 I think we're going to have big water this year. Something tells me with near record snowpack levels in a lot of Montana watersheds that when runoff really gets going here in the coming weeks, there may be a need for these. Tailwater rivers like the Missouri and Bighorn are where we're going... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1759 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Wed, 11 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1759 As fate will have it, this year's Mother's Day Caddis extravaganza turned into a 48-hour semi bust. Yeah, there were caddis. And some folks did get on them. It was really limited though to the Town Float between Carter's Bridge and 9th Street through Livingston. Billman Creek was making the... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1754 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Fri, 6 May 2011 11:08:03 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1754 A couple days sun and relative warmth can change things in a hurry! Snowstorms a few days ago putting down enough here in the valley that we needed the snow shovel. Today? break out the short sleeves...well almost. With it comes a push of snowmelt runoff. Hopefully short term and not the... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1756 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Thu, 5 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1756 Took Sam fishing over on the Big Hole the other day. Guess the kid's getting it down. Skwalla dry fly fishing was pretty decent! We fished the lower river below Melrose. Saw a few other boats out and about but pretty much had the river to ourselves. Nothing wrong with that! And with nice... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1708 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Tue, 3 May 2011 08:51:01 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1708 The calendar says May. I checked it again just now. Things have been running a tad bit behind this spring. In case you haven't been aware, we are still getting snow here in Montana. Sometimes not just a little. The snow shovel is still out by the front door and yes, it was in use just the... http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1545 Www.montanaflyfishers.com Tue, 15 Mar 2011 05:41:46 +0000 http://montanaflyfishers.com/blog/view/1545 Awesome photos and articles from our buds at Catch.
