Michael and I with a nice Montana Rooster. Every year we try to get together as a family to do either a hunting trip or a fishing trip. Last year we floated the John Day River in central Oregon and got in both fishing and hunting. This year our destination was central Montana for deer and upland birds. This annual tradition started many years ago when I used to take my two sons on adventures every summer. As the kids got older, we have always tried to maintain the traditi

An Elk Fawn hiding in the grass along the Big Hole River Last October I planned a fly fishing trip to Montana with a couple of young men that are friends of the family. Drew and Mason both go to Camas High School and had expressed an interest in learning how to fly fish so I promised them that I would take them fishing in Montana in the Spring.

Hanging out at the Reno Fly Shop!

It was another beautiful Spring Day here in the Pacific NW, and I was reviewing my options for this glorious Sunday. As my wife and I had coffee I reviewed my three top options: 1.
