Springtime in Montana

Morning along the Madison River in SW Montana. Taken last week on a fishing trip. Delayed breakfast until I found a sunbeam to thaw the galley hatch. Glad I have the furnace...

 

yeah... 'cause you certainly don't need an air conditioner!
Great picture.

 

Ah, yes spring under the Big Sky. I worked the Butte mines in the 70's--marvelous people, geology, and rivers. Montana fly-fishing always best in early spring when it's "spittin snow", IMHO. Enjoy.

 

more important... did you get any fish

 

The fishing was actually pretty good! The wind (very high for three days and nights) made fly fishing a bit of a challenge -- and the trailer was even shaking pretty well at night. But the trailer sure beats a tent for this sort of trip!

 

Yah, my brother lives in Missoula and has been an avid fly fisherman for some 60+ years now... HE loves it there and is an accomplished photog of the local stuff and Alaskan thingies... the big furry ones....
