The month of March entered western Wyoming like a lion this week, with ample snowfall and high winds for the mountains. The skiing has been great...plenty of windblown powder and cold temps at the higher elevations. The snowpack continues to grow...good news for the rivers. It's this time of year that fly-fishing starts to creep back towards the front of my mind. The valley temps are slowly rising and with the evenings staying lighter much longer, my thoughts drift to pre-runoff spring fishing. Some of the best trout fishing that the west has to offer takes place in the next few months. Blue-Winged Olives and Midges will make an appearance on area streams soon, and streamer fishing will turn back on...there are some hungry fish out there ready for the end of winter! A much anticipated trip to the Big Hole in southwestern Montana is just around the corner. I have a trip planned with an old friend from my days in Colorado who will be joining me on the Big Hole in early April. An avid and accomplished angler, he has yet to fish Montana and I cannot wait to introduce him to it. Here is a typical Big Hole River Brown trout and a great scenic shot of the river near Melrose.
