Leave a few trout behind, willya? Pugs and I are going up thattaway in a few weeks to meet up with ingwe. We have to catch at least one trout so we can each pose holding it and claim we actually went fishing. Check out the fish that Rocky and Pugs caught! And look at that minnow that Ingwe's showing off!

I was just there but I left plenty of Montana for you, Steve.

Um....Montana was fished out in 1978 or so. By me. Really.
But you can sure flail the water if you want.

You do know that them folks up there talk funny, don't you?  What do you mean by that? Just because we drive our outfits,eat pasties,camp up a coulee, hunt prairie maggots,fish for lochs,and plug in our trucks in the winter.... we talk funny?? I fergot my Snoose in the jockey-box of my rig and since it is spendy, and i am all ready high-centered, my driving would be all cadywompus i didn't want to drive all the way to kwik-way, and buy a new can. So since i was sixes and sevens, I just sat down in a coulee and watched a slew of speed goats graze down by the crick. To the OP, WELCOME to Montana!

I hope you have a great time, Steve. Sounds like a well balanced plan. Ed

![[Linked Image]](http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p151/Steve_NO/montana024_zps809047c9.jpg) Greetings from God's country...got into Billings before noon yesterday, made a quick hit on Cabelas and made it into Red Lodge mid afternoon...in time for a to try the west fork of Rock Creek. it's been raining every day so the rivers are high and fast but I managed to pick up a rainbow and two little browns on dry hoppers. Montana is beautiful as always and really green from all the rain. this is my buddy's house outside Red Lodge ![[Linked Image]](http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p151/Steve_NO/montana018_zps9651777f.jpg) this is the old root cellar of the original homestead which they've turned into a seating area with a gas firepit...he killed a deer out of it last year, whitetails are thick in his little patch of woods ![[Linked Image]](http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p151/Steve_NO/montana009_zps2946640f.jpg) this is the old barn ![[Linked Image]](http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p151/Steve_NO/montana016_zpsa6d98745.jpg) ran up the West Rosebud to Emerald Lake today...beautiful drive my two partners in crime..both old cronies of more than 30 years standing ![[Linked Image]](http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p151/Steve_NO/montana027_zps270a6c7a.jpg) fish weren't very cooperative today for me..got two nice rainbows though. one of the other guys got eight...but the high water is killing us here I am pounding on them....the scenery makes up for slow fishing ![[Linked Image]](http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p151/Steve_NO/montana038_zps59ed0c10.jpg) fishing the Stillwater in a boat tomorrow...they did real well up there today so hopefully the body count will improve, but this is really a guy's getaway so that is sort of secondary. Will post more tomorrow night.

Hey Steve,
If you get a chance, make a run of about 20 miles up hwy 78 (toward Columbus) to Roscoe. They have a place called "The Grizzly Bar & Grill". Famous for their steaks and the bar. You won't be sorry. I'll be in Columbus with Shortactionsmoker in October and I'm sure we will go to Roscoe.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Take a gander at Jeremiah Johnson's little cabin there in Red Lodge. He was town marshal there in the late 1800s. Neat little town. By the way, I hope you have good luck fishing.

Didn't know Jeremiah Johnson ever lived in a house. I look for it when we go downtown tonight to eat.

It's a little cabin sitting on the right just before the downtown area. I'm sure your friend who lives there knows where. And, yes, you will really like Beartooth pass into Wyoming if you go to the Park that way.
