This was a special day on the West Fork of the Bitterroot with Irv and Rachel. They were all remembering friends and family, but that is another story. By special graces, they caught beautiful fish and had a wonderful day.

Jeff and Jamie Jones fished and camped with Jack. I am posting two slideshows. One is of photos we took and the other is of photos that Jeff sent us. They all had a great time. It was hot, but who cares when you are on the river. They caught fish, saw spetacular scenery from dusk to dawn, swam, and just had fun.
Thanks Jeff and Jamie! When we come to Missouri to visit Jack’s Mom and Sister, maybe we can “hook up”….excuse the pun.
See the photos Jack and I took in the slideshow below. Jeff’s are the next slideshow down. We are so glad he shared them!
See Jeff Jones’ photos in the slideshow below.

David has fished with us for many years, but today, he had 5 other people in his fishing party. In Jack’s boat, David and his daughter, Teak, caught fish and we got a couple of photos. First is Teak’s with her first trout according to Jack. Pretty cool! Next is David with a very nice cutthroat trout. That must have been a good fight. Teak snapped the photo of her Dad with Jack’s camera. Good job!

Guides Dave Demmons and Jack Mauer fly fished Tore, Sandra and friends on the Bitterroot River today. Highway 93 in the Bitterroot is in the process of being upgraded and they recently finished the section and bridge just north of Hamilton. The old Silver Bridge is no more and a large new bridge with a new access point to the river has been constructed. There are photos of Tore, Sandra, an owl, and the new bridge in the slideshow below. It was hot today, 90 degrees plus, but there were fish to be caught and it was a fun float with fun people.

Peter fished with us years ago, in the late 1990’s, with his family and we often thought of him. Recently, he called to say he never forgot us either and was coming to Montana, did we have some time for him. The answer was yes!
