Tough to Take this Much Fishing


Another day on the ditch and catching a few willing participants. The fishing in this part of the state are very healthy and strong, even the smaller fisher are very, very scrappy and hard fighters.
 This is RO Country with a Clackacraft scattered in for good measure. Lots of skiff , which if you have not fished out of them, are a pleasure, as you can sit, spin and cast effortlessly. No crap in the way.
Just the way I like it.
Bighole bound tomorrow for new stretch of water.

Every Have one of those Mornings?


Ever have one of those mornings when the "fishing karma" is just off. Well yesterday was that kind of day for Ms. Floatfisher and I, you might have guessed we spent a little too much time a the local watering hole the night before, but not the case. Not a cast to go in the right place, pocket or seam. Seems like the casts were "just" a little long into the trees, snagged and tangled. Guess we just did not want to play the bobber and lead game!
 Finally we rounded the corner and the PMD's and Sally's were out in full force. Fish faces everywhere and rising like the Last Supper, always a sight you like to see. This is when the luck changed to the better. Got rid of the split shot and droppers, went to a single dry and BAM!!

 Thank you for treating us to another day great day on the ditch. 

Just a shout out to my Loyal Floatfisher followers who spotted Ms. Floatfisher and I, on the ditch yesterday. Always pretty cool to be out and about and have folks spot you. At least a hack like me.
Thanks.

The Other Day......................

 In every journey you need a great place to remember our trip. We have one, cabin for two, with a mere
1400 acres to enjoy the afternoon sunset, grill a steak and have a little wine.
It's all good. 
Ms. Floatfisher hooked up on a beautiful strong fish. No rowing today,
all fishing for Ms. Floatfisher today. Big fish, no whammies.

Channel Surfing- Montana Style

Fresh off the river, glass of wine in hand, spending great time with Ms. Floatfisher.
This is how you watch TV Montana style. Sit there long enough and the skies and scenery changes.
