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.
Bitterroot River on April 6 – Dusty Bernard crew
I was hoping to get a few more photos from these guys but haven’t yet…so here are the few that were on Jack’s camera. This group is from San Diego and always fishes this time of year with Wapiti Waters…they love to fish, just look at the smiles.
Doc Bolton fly fishing the Bitterroot River in mid-March
John came up for his spring fix in Montana and fished a few days with Jack. He caught one of the biggest trout ever on his first day fishing. Of course, they didn’t have the camera that day. So…here is another trout. Not a bad fish. There is definitely something special about spring fishing and John hit the perfect weather window.

Bitterroot River mid-week, good fishing and pretty spring 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.

Fishing the Bitterroot – awesome day

The temperature was warmer as promised by the weather man. It got to 66 degrees, lovely afternoon with some wind sometimes, no wind sometimes..just enough to keep you tuned in to your casting skills. Bugs, yes. That is all I will say. The fish were rising, we had so much fun. John Hickman, Jack, me and our Chesapeake Bay Retriever Freda. Happy day!
Here are some photos – see the slideshow below.
