Last night, I met one of my heroes. John Gierach is wrapping up a book tour for his latest book All Fishermen are Liars. His last stop before going back to Colorado was Missoula. I have read about Gierach's feelings toward book signings in the chapter "Book Tours" in No Shortage of Good Days. I hope he still gets the chance at some pre-runoff fishing. We here in western Montana sure don't!
The flows on all the fish-able streams in western Montana are elevated. Some rivers are straight-up blown out. If you want to fish, you'll have to go as high up the respective drainage as possible (ie. Warm Springs, West Fork, P-burg route). The lakes are fishing well and I'm anxiously planning a trip to the Missouri. I hope on stopping by at Browns lake for a day. I'll have a full report on the lake and spring hatches on the Mo.
