Yellowstone River in its Prime
The fish are eating hard on the Yellowstone during a blip in this years spring runoff. No caddis madness yet just solid fishing on our local water. Life is good!
Town Day
While waiting for the local rivers to rearrange themselves and become fishable again I have some time to bumble my way in discovering how to use some new technology. The term new is relative here. Bumbling is referring to myself and my ability with computers. However, being determined and able
Traveling Angler
