Fall is almost here officially, but it feels like fall now. Cooler temperatures and changing colors are the clues for us and the fish. Dar Soder and his wife, LaRonda, are visiting from Missouri. Dar loves to fish and he and Jack were on the mid to lower Bitterroot one day this week. The fishing was a bit technical for some of the time with tricos coming off, but Dar did used a variety of Jack’s flies and definitely caught some beautiful trout. They had a lot of fun fishing and visiting while floating the gorgeous Bitterroot River.
Here are more photos.
Jack guided clients from Arizona on the Bitterroot and Big Hole River. The photos are only from the Bitterroot. They didn’t get photos from the Big Hole. Sometimes they are having too much fun to take photos. These clients were a referral from a good friend and outfitter on the Big Horn River, Matt McMeans. Thank you Matt! Great people. Jack had a good time with them and appreciated your sending them his way.
Still fishing with the Connell’s and their friends. We have to say, Susan is quite the trout fisher-woman. She consistently catches trout, what else can we say. Congratulations Susan. Here are a few more photos.
Dave sent us a few more photos he took while guiding Susan and Carl Robertson on the Bitterroot River.
We appreciate getting the photos, forwarding them to the clients and posting them for our readers to see. Thanks again, Dave, Susan and Carl. These photos were taken in early September.

This week has been a great week. Three couples are here that we love to fish with. They have been coming every year for awhile now. During this year’s visit, someone (or a few someones) from their group has fished every other day. They know how to enjoy Montana (even if it rains) and have fun and we are glad to help. It also give us and them an opportunity to work with great guides. Thanks to all of you.
