Planning The Fly Fishing Trip With Matt Is Progressing

Matt (who lives in Rathdrum ID with his wife, Heather, and pup, Johnny Cash) and I will be off on a fishing trip in the Helena MT area Sept 17-19 using our 26' Nash trailer for lodging. We have a half-day guided float trip planned the afternoon of the 17th, the day we arrive, followed by a full-day guided float the next day. Both will most likely be on the Missouri River, an excellent fishery. We'll decide what to do (chilling, fishing, whatever) the first half of the 19th when we drag ourselves out of bed and I'll return Matt to his wife later that day.

Fishing the Missouri River can be a lot of fun. There are plenty of good-size trout in the river and they put up a good fight. One never knows how the fishing will be but the time Matt and I have together will be sweet no matter how well the fish are cooperating. We haven't done anything like this together before just the two of us. (The move from PA to San Jose doesn't count cause that wasn't just chillin' and doing 'guy stuff'.)

How I'm going to get up there from here in Roseburg is a whole other adventure with my wife that will be a good subject for another blog.
