Thankful for Another Great Season

As the calendar starts keeping towards 2024, I am thankful for everyone that made this season a memorable one.  I was lucky to explore rivers around Montana with lots of great people!  The season was filled with memorable days on Rock Creek, the Big Hole River, Blackfoot River, Bitterroot River, Clark Fork River and Missouri River. As I get to spend more time at home though the off-season, I realize how lucky I am to call Philipsburg home with all of these great rivers within reach.  

The season included many memorable fish but the most memorable trout was landed on the Big Hole with my family.  On the one day that we were able to load the whole crew in the boat  for Eliza’s first float trip.  Somehow we were able to fool one tiny brook trout before any major toddler melt downs. I’m hoping that next year they can take over the oars and let Dad do some fishing.

Here are some of the highlights from 2023 and please leave a Google Review for me, or one of the great guides that you have fished with!
