Welcome back to our weekly newsletter! We hope the first day of August is treating you all well! We've been the recipients of some much needed rain here lately and the fish have been loving it. While none of the restrictions have been lifted, our water is in much better shape than it was this time last week. Fishing has continued to be good throughout the area and there's always a good fishing option out there!
My cousin Vinny and his family landed in Bozeman last Friday and have been checking out all the area has to offer on their vacation. They've done some tubing, hiking and lots of sight seeing. The kids got to check out the Grizzly Wolf Discovery Center and I got to take Vince and his oldest, Sawyer, fishing on Monday. We got to the river pretty early and dropped the boat in at Lyons, did some casting lessons and proceeded to have a ton of fun for the rest of the day! On Sawyer's second or third unassisted cast he was able to hook and land his very first fish on a fly rod, which happened to very chunky whitefish. He hasn't stopped talking about it since and that's a pretty neat thing to be a part of.
Looking forward to next week our temperatures are climbing back up into the 80's. We expect fishing to stay strong through the morning hours and taper off a bit in the afternoons. This means it's probably going to be a great time to enjoy one of the many small streams our area has to offer. Bucky and I both enjoy spending time on the little "cricks" with either a two or a three weight and small selection of attractor dries. It's a great time leap frogging up a creek with a buddy or two and laughing about how lightning fast those little native trout can eat a fly!
As always give us a call at the shop, swing in or shoot us an email if you have any questions!
