WOW

Today in downtown Craig Montana…well above is from the river. Do not know who shot this, but it is damn cool.

We love this time of year at Headhunters. Friends, fun, fish…fireworks.

Today Wiley and the Wild West on Izaak’s Log Jam @ 2pm. Lots of folks around for this event. Tons, droves, a veritable mob of finatical Wiley fans.

Bark.

“Hey dudes, catch any? Move out of my way, I’m gonna swim for a while. Later. Nice pink shirt dude. Does your wife let you out of the house with that on?” says DOG

Spokane, Seattle, & Portland this week...in Craig June 26th

FFFT has torn up Montana for the past few days… Tonight in Spokane Washington. There are a pile of folks from the former World’s Fair City (‘72) who journey often to the Missouri River. Spokane is a stones throw from here,  a mere 6 hours drive, a thermos of coffee and the Zeppelin CD of your choice. Just push play.

Billings, Bozeman, and Missoula  have just hosted the winter leg of the FFFT leaving a multitude of hard up fly rodders foaming at the mouth…planning and fantasizing about the upcoming spring, summer, and fall. It may just light a fire under some of them…frantically looking for their nymph boxes and a soggy 5 weight coupled with long johns and wool hats. In MT we usually do not have to travel far to dip a fly…just down the road to the nearest drainage ditch; knock a couple hole through the ice and proceed.

Those of you in Spokane…go see the show at the Bing Crosby Theater tonight  @ 7pm. Do it…what else are you doing on Monday night. Cancel the Polka Lessons, they won’t even know you aren’t there. By the way, that is the worst gift your mother-in-law has ever given you.

For those of you residing a little further west, the wet side of the mountains, you too can get in on some of this fly fishing mayhem. The show plays in Seattle Wednesday February 10th and Portland February 12th. But, if you want to see the granddaddy of shows…visit Craig MT for the June 26th outdoor showing @ 10pm…I’m sure there will be some additional events, BBQ’s, free swag, debauchery perhaps…
