Fireworks- Flyfishing Style

Fireworks from scumliner media on Vimeo.

The crew from Headhunters on the Missouri River now how to throw a celebration. They do it right

each and every time they have an event, from their famous BBQ's, Drift Boat Drive-In, participation

in the Famous Caddis Festival. Now a little hooliganism with fireworks. 

Get  you fun on in slow-mo.

SSS- Super Summer Seven

Tying or buying flies to stock your fly boxes for your summer and fall trips should include

some of Floatfisher's favorites. I really have not found to many rivers in the western United States

these will not draw a strike or catch a nice fish.

8000 Miles and Still Smiling

You would thing after logging some 8000 miles of floating and fishing as recreational flyfisherman (not guiding) you would tire of your favorite river. No way! It is crazy to think one of the busiest holiday weekends of the season, and we had the entire river to ourselves, nary another boat on any of the sections we floated any of the four days, pure pleasure.

 Weather was terrific, as morning treated us to beautiful sunrises and great fishing.

 New places were found and full of fish. They were very fond of grape slush.

Launching the boat at 5:15 for the superb streamer bite offered some nice sights and summer colors.

Did I mention the Streamer Bite, Oh yeah, worth getting up and throwing them. Early bird gets the worm. Late risers get to fish with the guide boats and rafters.
