It's been a while since we last posted anything but it wasn't because of a lack of fishing. We have been getting out but June, and so far July, the water conditions have been miserable. So instead of the traditional bachelor party Jon Mcguinn decided that he would urge the boys to take a fishing trip to Montana.
We were going to go try our luck on the Madison but it became apparent that the only river that was fishable was the tailwater below the damn on the Beaver Head. The river reminded me a lot of the Weber here at home... Not a lot of top action and the fish hung deep along the bottom, requiring lots of weight to get it down. It was tough going the first day but by the second day we had some bugs that were producing. The fish fight so hard on this river! We caught Browns, Rainbows and the occasional White Fish. Below are some photos of the trip.

Dalt with a monster Brown.
Camp set up on the lake. The Mosquito's were intense!!!
Mid day break under a big sky.
Gearing back up. Notice Jordan's purple daisy dukes... Later that night he walked into a local bar and the music came to a screeching halt... He turned a few heads to say the least.
Great Brown.
This was one of the biggest rainbows I have ever caught. I will never forget the great fight. He leaped 3 feet out of the air a half dozen times. Tony saved me with a nice net assist.
Another shot of the girth.
Tony on a hot streak..
Now that is a whitty to be proud of. That thing is huge!
Lennon was a trooper and kept me warm at night. Great Sunset...

I would definitely like to make it back to this river. There are some serious trophies in there.
Thanks for checking in.
