Fly Fishing the Missouri River in early May
Jeff and Jack fished the Missouri for three days. I decided to use a slideshow for all the photos. Enjoy.

These photos are from June 1 but it is appropriate to post them on Father’s Day. Jeff Rogers and his Dad fishing with Jack on the upper Bitterroot.
Jeff and Reed had a fishing agenda in late April and it included fishing the Missouri River with Jack. It was pretty darn cold that day but they were up to the challenge. Fish were caught but the camera was mostly kept in the bag. Rowing was the priority to help keep the boat headed downriver in the wind.
All in all, it was a very good day.
Jack and Jeff always do this stretch of the river in late March as an annual trip. This starts their fishing season off and helps them get caught up after a long winter. It was a nice day overall, except for someone doing some kind of control burn on the bank…but the company and the fishing were both good.

| trout, duh |

Jeff’s dad was up for a visit again. And, again, they went fishing with Jack – June 28 and 29. Maybe it is becoming an annual tradition for them. There is nothing like bonding as father and son on the river. They certainly know how to have fun in the outdoors together.
There is a moose in a couple of the photos, though it is very difficult to see. A few days later, Jack saw a bear. Deer, moose and maybe elk are common sites, but though bear are here, we don’t usually see them on the river. Of course Jeff and the Colonel caught fish, too.
