Casting rods at Caras Park, with a party to one side and the Clark Fork River to the other.
I haven’t had time to sit down and write out a real blog post about the Orvis Guide Rendezvous and Down the Hatch Festival, though rest assured a text-heavy blog post will be coming your way soon. I’m back in Manchester for three days in the office before heading out to the Delaware River in New York State for the Hell or High Water event at West Branch Angler. A group of Orvis-ites are going over to teach 101 classes and get a bit of fishing in ourselves.
The season is off with a bang.
Montana, as always, was epic, and it was fantastic to catch up with old friends, make new ones, do (a lot of) business, and fish the Missouri. I finally was able to wet a line Sunday on the ‘Mo and had a good day on the water despite heavy winds. Something about heathy, fat fish makes me very happy, and I grinned when two of my three brown trout of the day were little, healthy guys. I’d almost rather see them than the big boys (there was one of those too…) as it means the fishery will be pumping for years to come.
More coming soon, I promise.
