I was very excited to see my old friend, Cayenne, who has been on this blog many times.

Last Saturday, Orvis held its third annual Down the Hatch Fishing Festival in Missoula, Montana. The event—part of the Orvis Guide Rendezvous—featured live music, a chance to try out some new fly rods, many booths from vendors and conservation organizations, and more. Of course, any time you get a bunch of outdoorspeople together, dogs abound. Here are a just a few of the beautiful animals in attendance, including an old friend who moved away to Wyoming (above) and a Toy Australian Shepherd, a breed I’d never seen before.







The Orvis Dallas store needs to do its own Down the Hatch Festival. It would be very popular in Dallas.
