Time to Make Hay…..

Looks like the start of the fluctuation of runoff is starting it's pulsating thump around the state, just a week or two early. Hoping to get another week out of the Colorado we made the right choice by bagging our trip and picking a different river. As you can see by the graphs below, did we ever make the right move. A nice 2000 CFS move over Saturday and Sunday.

Not nearly the same drastic move but up almost 900 CFS. Water had marginal clarity last weekend, sure it went to hell this weekend.

The Eagle also decided to join the game, and spiked a little. 

 The Gunnison stair stepped up a little so it probably isn't in to bad of shape and still worth a trip over, especially with the cold front coming through the next few days. With rain and overcast weather in the forecast, streamers would be in the forecast.

Time to get out and make the best of it in the next couple of weeks, then it would be time for 

stillwater fishing or time off. Make it count….

Drift Boat Drive In- Craig, Mt

Where you going to be on May 15th? Anywhere around Craig, MT , if so you should 

plan on spending the day floating and fishing during the day, making sure to leave plenty of 

beer in the cooler for the Driftboat Drive-In , later that night. 

This is a special treat to the locals and visitors in Craig while visiting in Craig . Come view local made videos form the Montana Fishing Film Festival. Pull up, drop off the raft or drift boat in front of the screen on main street, at sundown, get ready for a little fun and beer drinking.

Come one, Come all, support a great cause.

"Fish on the Lower" by Brickhouse Creative

Came across this beautifully shot video short by Brickhouse Creative. I am always mesmerized by the close up shots of rising fish taking dries. The photography and editing are very nice on this short film. Check it out this morning, enjoy your coffee...

Spring on the Lower Madison

Come Back Again- Please

I say it over and over , but found the profound quote from Sparse Grey Hackle, and it could

not be summed up any better.

"The trout do not rise in the cemetery, so you better do your fishing while you are still able."
