It was the final days of April. In southwestern Montana that's usually a good time for flyfishing. Daily hatches of march browns and skwalas had been on the river for the last two weeks. To say we were excited would have been an understatement.

The phone rang, and suddenly it got real quiet. On the other end of the line was John Cook, the owner of Backdoor Outiftters eight driving hours away in Stevensville, Montana. John told of sudden high water caused by a recent warming trend.

John said this would not be a good weekend to come over. It might get worse - much worse, but then again, there's a small chance it might get better. "What do you guys want to do?" he asked.

Hmmm - we could stay home and mow our lawns or ...
we could face the uncertainty of rising water, the challenge of new rivers, finicky trout and possible stormy weather. The vote was unanimous...

Let's go to Montana!
