Jack fished with Jeff today. They fished the lower river and in spite of no skwala hatch to speak of there was some VERY good fishing. They caught pike and trout, big pike and trout.
The weather was cold in the morning, but it warmed up to about 66 degrees. There were a lot of boats and wade fishermen out.
To see what Jack and Jeff’s day was like, see the photos below.
Jeff Rogers is a friend, neighbor and one of our favorite clients. We have been fishing for years. On July 10, he brought his son, Alex, for the first time. Talk about a happy face… see the photos.
We love fishing fathers and sons, mothers and daughters. I need to make this a category,
“Take Your Kids Fishing” posts.
Jeff’s Dad is visiting and they are fly fishing with Jack for a few days. They went to the West Fork of the Bitterroot today. They left around 8:00 am, and it is a good thing. It got pretty darn hot today. Last I saw, it was 86 degrees.
Wet and rainy, yes it was, but Jeff and Jack still wanted to fish. They had a great day and here are some of the fish Jeff caught.
I will upload one and do a slideshow of a few more photos. Enjoy!
The weather is getting wetter and warmer and the river is on the rise.
Jeff Rogers lives in Victor, Montana and fishes with us regularly.
Note from Billy:
Hey Merle!
I told my great buddy Jeff Rogers I would send these to you. They are shots of him at a secret spot in Canada this past Sept. fishing for steelhead with his dad. Looks like I have probably been “bested” by him, for life, in the flyrod category. Please tell Jack “hi” and Merry Christmas to you and yours! ………Billy Burk
Billy, thanks for sending these photos in.
