I headed up into the mountains for a bit of small-stream fishing yesterday (more a mental break than anything) and ran into wind, snow, and temps dipping right around freezing. The fishing wasn’t bad — lots of little guys willing to nibble — but the real treat was having what’s been a busy stream throughout the summer all to myself as snow coated my hat. Come January I’ll be well and over the cold and snow, but the first blast of winter weather is always kind of cosy.
Yesterday I was impressed by the dark, dark skies — thunderstorm skies — accompanied only by the sound of wind through the trees and the eerie silence of softly-falling snow.
Hyalite is a popular canyon just south of Bozeman; it’s typically over-run with eager outdoors folk (or, as seems to be the case lately, wannabe outdoorsmen). A brief drive brings you to a gorgeous lake, and a myriad of trails can take you in any direction you please.
