\"John<\/a>John Corrigan took a working\/vacation trip to the northwest US in late August. He attended a conference in Portland, Oregon, and after taking care of business, rented a car and headed east. When he reached western Montana he met and fished with Wapiti Waters on the Bitterroot and Blackfoot Rivers.<\/p>\n

Wanting to see even more country and catch more fish he drove north through the Seeley-Swan valley to Glacier National Park and the Going to the Sun Highway. The fishing part was when he hooked up with Tim Linehan in northwestern Montana.<\/p>\n

It was his first trip to the northern Rockies and I think he did it justice. He said, \u201cAfter leaving Missoula, Glacier National Park turned out to be the most beautiful place I have ever seen. …and I had a productive day fishing with Tim Linehan.\u201d<\/p>\n

John writes for the Concord Monitor, New Hampshire – an online newspaper edition. Writing a Trout Unlimited chapter newsletter for many years helped get him the newspaper column. Having also served as chapter president and chair of the NH Trout Unlimited Council, John often works a conservation angle into his writing.<\/p>\n
