March 7, Bitteroot River

As if I had not had enough punishment fishing in cold weather, I decided to fish the Bitteroot wityh my friend Scott, owner of Go Fetch in Missoula. Matt and Caroline came along with their two-month old daughter Molly. I hooked two nice fish in a side channel and lost them both.

Casting to a pocket.

Crossing the Channel. Caroline was a little worried Matt might slip with Molly.



In one run, Scott jumped right in front of me and caught this fish.


Great fun for an hour of fishing!

Meanwhile back at the ranch.... Nate and his friend Mark (pictured below), stick a bunch of fish on the Lower Madison.
