Brush Creek

So now that I have updated my blog for summer 2010 I should tell everyone that I have taken a new job for fall 2010... I will be working at Brush Creek Lodge in Saratoga Wy... This is an all inclusive luxury guest ranch located nex to the medicine bow national forest... We have privaet access on both Brush Creek and the North Platte... I have a few more days up here in Montana and then it is off to Wyoming again...

More updates to come soon.. Also Hank Tony and I will be headed back to New Zealand in November.. Cant wait to get back!

Oh boy

Dry Fly Pig

Then at the end of the trip... I caught the biggest fish I have ever caught on a dry fly! (except for NZ)... This bad boy at a golden stonefly.. This might be the prettiest fish I have ever caught.. it was a long summer but this fish really capped it off...

Summertime

Caught a few more fish :)

Scenery

Saw some waterfalls... and some snakes ;)

Wyoming

Then I took a 4 day trip to Wyoming... we caught a couple of fish :) Grasshoppers and stoneflies....

Night Float

Hank and I did a night float looking for a big fish.. we put in after work around 7... we finally dragged the boat off the water around 2 or so... we caught some decent fish... then the sun went down.. BIG HUGE moon.. nothing.. we tried mice.. streamers... everything not hits.. no tugs.. I guess we will keep trying

Missouri

Then skip forward to the end of July (the next time i went fishing)... I spent 2 days on the Missouri with my good friend Jeff Church... we caught a few really nice fish.... both of these fish were feeding heavy on caddis tight to the bank.. Al Caucci would have been proud :)

Rock Creek

Had a great evening float with Hank, Sarah, Mary Jo, Sage, Luna, and Koda :) 4 people 3 dogs in a driftboat floating down Rock Creek... HAHAHA... we even caught some fish.. Nice wading belt Hank :)

Sage Fishing

Sage loves fish too :)

Sage

Sage really loves the camera... and the boat :)

Bitteroot

Mary jo, Sage and I went fishing on the Bitteroot.. Salmonflies were everywhere.. caught some nice for 2 days... MJ caught this sweet rainbow..

Lake Fishing

Here are a few shots of Sage the terror... watch out she can turn at any moment.. she has a thing for wading boots :)

Sage's First Float

Well Sage did her first float on the Big Hole with Hank and I... she loved the boat... all kinds of fun stuff to try and chew on... then she found Hanks boat bag... this Articulated Zoo Cougar bit Sage right in the lip.. she was really upset... good thing it was barbless :) Poor girl... she has now learned her lesson.. after trying to bite a stonefly that bit her back in the nose :) she was 8 weeks old here
