For me, the jury is out on this new TU TV show, but in this episode, my favorite outfitter is fishing with Host Frank Smethurst. Check it out.
One of our clients saw it and emailed, “Hey Jack, I saw you this morning on Trout Unlimited TV fishing the Clark Fork. In early July and I will try to fish a day or two with you. The Clark Fork looked like a lot of fun. Hope all is well.”

Jessa is using the X2S, Scott saltwater rod in a 9 weight.
We were fishing for trout, pike and small mouth bass. The photo was taken south of Buffalo Bridge (south of Polson, Montana). The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes manage this wonderful fishery.

It is hard boat time in the lower Bitterroot. Jack fished with Dan Pace of the Florence area and here are some photos. It was a wonderful gray day, great for fishing. I will post one, and then a slide show. To see the gallery, click on the “View Album” link.
OK, after posting this, I wanted to email the blog to Dan and to his son Garrett. I visited Garrett’s website to find his email. This inspired me to add a link and some information about Garrett. Let me start by saying Garrett is a good friend (that is how we met Dan) and we have some things in common, most importantly “Music and Fishing.” Below is text from Garrett’s site and a link. If you love guitars, visit Garrett’s site.
Welcome!
Welcome to
garrettpace.com ! I want to thank all of you for visiting.
My friends keep informing me that this is the lamest website on the Net. Some even insist that if Al Gore knew this was here, he would pull the plug on the whole thing!
Rest assured I continue to seek out the nicest American built instruments that I can find. Eventualy, they all end up here so that I can buy others.
Check out the minty LP Classic and Baker Jr. or the Custom Shop Brian Moore. There should be another one or two nice electrics posting later this week.
If you are looking to sell a Vintage or an American built Guitar, please drop me an email. I pay more than the other guys and I will not offer you half its value if we can work out a trade.

I couldn’t resist posting these two photos on their own. They show how beautiful the river is and how calm it was.
OK – Let me throw this one in here, too. Jessa knows how to capitalize on the fishing.

Last weekend we did a two day family float on the Flathead River from Buffalo Bridge south of Polson to Sloan’s Bridge west of Ronan. The normal cubic feet per second (CFS) at this time of year is about 3200. This year it is near 10,000 CFS. The river was big, beautiful, and full of fish. 
The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes have a wonderful management program. Clean water and a healthy ecosystem are proof of that. Here are a few photos. I am preparing a slide show that I will upload soon.
Visit here again soon to see the slide show. There will be photos of fish, birds, scenery, camp, cliffs, and girls and boys.
