July 20, 2011 During the last two days I was fortunate to hook up with fellow guide and outfitter Dennis Alverson with Covered Wagon Outfitters. With some anglers ready to take a chance on less than optimal conditions we left the spring creeks and lakes behind and got in the
July 20, 2011 Once again Jones Lake does not disappoint. These fish were caught by friends Arno and John a few days ago. Our day was definitely about quality and not quantity and the quality was superb. To book a lake day during the runoff one needs to contact Sweetwater

This is a non-fishing post and has to do with some of the other reasons Montana is so great. The Livingston Parade was great this year, Amy, Nadine and I loved spending the afternoon together with our community and others!
