I just got back from Montana and have some fun fish pics thought I would share. Three of these were caught on Burns Lake outside Big Timber. The trout were mad for hoppers for a stretch, but were mostly interested in black beadhead nymphs. It was awesome!

Meatrack Creek was a two-hour ride on horseback inside the in Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness. My guide and I rode for two hours, which in itself was spectacular, but once I got on the water..Heaven. The water was rather low, but fish were happy to see the big fat hoppers. There was actually one hole in which three fish would rise at a time for the feast.

I fished with guide Dennis Alverson out of Livingston for the first time last year and couldn’t wait to get back to go with him this year. Not only did he take me to the Meatrack, but the first full day I was there, he took Meg and me out on the Yellowstone. Dennis is not just a fantastic guide, but a heck of a lot of fun, too!
