Funday Friday and Super Saturday

Way late on the post as another weekend is almost upon us, but Ms. Floatfisher and I had the opportunity to spend an extended weekend on the ditch, and what a treat. I invited a great friend up to fish on Friday. A fish monger of sorts, Dr. Kaes. The Day was stellar, company ,even better , but the fishing cooperated to the fullest. Nymph's including the infamous Black Ice, Caddis and a stellar BWO pattern railed some nice fish. I appreciate spending a great day on the river rowing a very good friend. Thanks Jeff.

Sometimes a good luck "fireball" shot brings all the luck, it did. Make sure u pack the 

handy boat size bottle, anything small, just runs out. Just sayin'

Some of the Saturday patterns that brought the fish to feed. 

Splendid Streamer Morning

Love the time of year, as the water warms and the fish start to chase our long

Articulated fur and feather friends. Although I would not quite call it the optimal conditions

they where still chasing and swiping in the right water and conditions. Need a little warmer water, and more cloud cover.

 Baby Gonga and Dirty Hippy took some of these little fella's. 

 Finally got too break in the new 7wt. glass rod. Throws the fur and feathers like a champ. 
We will see what this week brings.

From the fine folks at Big R / North 40 Flyshop in Greatfalls, comes another quality

fly tying video short. I always enjoy quality, easy but effective fly patterns. I too enjoy some

music dropped in to accompany the tying, instead of someone talking through-out the whole thing.

Enjoy…
