Boulder River

It's March in Montana...that means cabin fever, a few nice days to tease us into getting outside, and more winter weather to bring us back to reality. But a few nice days are better than none, so we took off last weekend for the Boulder River near Livingston, Montana. Last year around this time it was a little warmer, and the rainbows were hungry and fiesty when hooked. There was more ice on the river this time around, which I suppose is a good thing considering the drought we're in and the planet heating up in general. In any event, the fish were eating, although not with the voracity of last year. It still made for some great winter fly-fishing in Montana, and helped soothe the cabin fever if only for a few hours. Here are a few shots of the action on the Boulder.
