Love every Fish Plate

Seen lots…like to see lots more. Fly rodders are passionate, and spread the word in a plethora of fashions. Stickers, pod casts, websites, blogs, standing on top of a mountain and proclaiming…any medium fit to share the thrill. This plate pulled into the lot today and SOL snapped a quick shot. Fellow in a business suit picking up the new Rio Indicator Line. Wise choice…winter treat for himself. He was travelling for work; could not pass up the opportunity to fish the Missouri…waders in the truck. Smart guy. Getting the line on his reel and getting after it. And it’s only February. He is ahead of the curve! 

Headhunters Fly Shop & Guide Service settling in...we're here to stay!

Yes indeed, the fly shop is coming back. Like individual pieces finding their way into the complete puzzle. There are of course many more little pieces to complete…but we are ever so close. The rod rack went in today and the Logo Gondola (lower left in photo above) came in yesterday. Scumliner and SOL traveled to Bozeman to pick it up and visit Simms as well. The fishing community is small, even in a huge state like MT, and we bumped into several fishy folks. Nice to see the fishing business healthy and prospering. 

Smiles all the way around as we ( the HH staff)  all enjoy shorter days and still time on the clock to…read several more books, sleep in, stay upwatching the late, late, show, and take a couple, if not a few days off each month. The spring approaches rapidly as we prepare for the 2010 season. I cannot believe the enthusiasm exhibited by the anglers calling to ask questions, research, and chew the fat about their upcoming fishing vacation. Most have visited us before and cannot wait to return. I think it is worse on a guy who has fished here before.  Waiting must be excruciating. Those who have planned the innaural trip to the Mo, that must be tough too. Lots of these first-timers know a guy or two that has been here…and are anxious to see if the big trout rumor carries water. I won’t ruin it for you. 

Headhunters Fly Shop open this weekend for shuttles, flies, info, coffee, gee-gaws, sale Simms stuff, a warming hut for cold fishermen, and Looky Lou’s.
