I am fortunate to fish Montana yearly, this year being the Beaverhead mostly as the fish were just slamming anything I threw within 2 inches of shore. Plus, just the opposite happened to us on Big Hole....too warm in August so fish in am to about noon...shut down. I am also fortunate to have a good friend who has a house in Twin Bridges. Having lived in Alaska for years and now Nevada, Montana is the best of both worlds. The people are the best and treat you like we have known each other all our life! By the way, having caught and ate enough fish in my lifetime to satisfy anyone, I am a pretty dedicated catch and release advocate! I know a lot are in Montana which keeps these great fisheries so bountiful! Enjoy...fish on!
