Today Curtis, a friend and my college teacher, is coming into town to fish four days. This weekend will be the 5th annual Bitterroot fishing trip. This one is special because his father will be coming with him. To still be camping and fishing at his age is quit the accomplishment. On a sad note I do not think the Kearby is coming this year. Such a chicken.
With any luck the river will drop and the fishing on the main stem will be improved. I will be taking photo's of the weekend so look for that. I would like to figure out the slide show options as well so I can make the photo's a little less cumbersome. I will see what kind of time I have on the busy fishing weekend.

1st Post
This has been a long time coming. I have considered this for a while now and finally I took the plunge. I guess what pushed me over the edge finally was arriving in Montana to guide for the summer only to say goodbye to some dear friends who moved for a new job. Something that I had to do not three years ago.
What was my connection back to the valley and the happens around here is gone, now the roles are reversed and at least during the summer months I can now be the connection back to the valley.
I have had two trips in consecutive days:
Tuesday I nice half day float with family from Park City. From Hannon to Wally the river was beautiful and running real fast. We did do some fishing, but it was difficult. Took out at Lone Pine and continued the float with the family (Mrs. flycaster & willowcaster) the rest of the way to Wally. Lot's of water, bugs, and sun but few fish.
Wednesday another really nice day, but this time on the West Fork. Salmon flies were thick. A lot of fish up, but not many caught. Oh well. We floated from the dam to Appleberry. I think it will continue to fish well for a few more day. Man the boat hatch was even more impressive however.
