I am sorry about your son..children should not die before their parents. <br />I have not fly fished..but I have walked some of the streams in Montana..and some like the Gallatin are kinda scary...rushing water the times we were there.

I feel privileged to live within a half-hour of the Big Hole, and even on the days I decided not to fish, it's comforting to know it's there. <br /><br />We've had quite a winter and spring, the Big Hole has not dropped below 6,000 cfs in weeks, and although the Stonefly hatch is here, the flows are keeping the fishing difficult. <br /><br />I might also mention Al Lefore's blog, "Big Hole Journal". Al lives and guides out of Divide, and is a wealth of information. <br /><br />cheers,<br />MikeShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400586203204886095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-46155075306148181812011-06-23T18:03:07.020-06:002011-06-23T18:03:07.020-06:00I really enjoyed this post, Troutbirder.
