We've had a few chances to fly-fish around here in Southwest Montana, but while most of the country is welcoming buds and birds, we're getting dumped on...again. I'm not complaining, I've resolved myself to be appreciative of every drop of moisture this planet gets at this stage of the game. However, it doesn't mean I'm not ready for some warm weather. It will be nice to toss a line without dealing with ice shelfs and insulated jackets. The lower Madison has been fishing pretty well. Here are a couple fish from a float we did last week....and a shot of what it looks like outside this morning.
