It's been cold and rainy in southwest Montana for a few days now - Perfect fall fishing weather. Justin, Joe, and the boys had a great trip up to the Missouri. P-Man and I just returned from bird-hunting in central Montana. We're heading back out at the end of the week to chase browns and baetis on the Jefferson, Madison, and Yellowstone. Elk season opens next week. It's a stellar time of year, probably my favorite.

But, looking out at the thermometer behind the house this morning at a frosty twenty-something degrees, I can't help but wish I was knee-deep in an eighty-degree bonefish flat.
