Montana Snow Pack, 3-15-2010

Wayne Mumford — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:06:37 +0000

We are advancing into spring pretty quickly now. Several smaller lakes in the valleys are about to lose their ice. The river sloughs are open and the only remaining snow below 35oo ft. is in the shade or on the north slopes and little blades of hardier grasses are starting move. Absent is the precipitation. Nights [...]

Metalhead II, Fish Bum Diary Review

Wayne Mumford — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:09:47 +0000

Imagine giving your kids a lot of cool, expensive equipment; boats, rafts, a small arsenal of various kinds of fly fishing gear, a complete camping outfit and enough spending money to keep them in coffee, booze and cheap feed for a few weeks of unsupervised fun. That’s kind of what came to mind while watching [...]

Fish Bum Vol. II Metalhead, Fly Fishing School for Kids

Wayne Mumford — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 06:47:48 +0000

An interesting looking package landed in my mailbox a couple days ago, a review copy of AEG (Trout Bum Diaries), FISH BUM VOLUME II, Metalhead. Thanks guys for sending that up. I will give it a gander here and report back ASAP. That covers kinda scary. I’m hoping for some furious fishing footage on the open [...]

Fly

Wayne Mumford — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:08:03 +0000

In my dreams, and there only… It’s just that first step. Last June, for my birthday it was suggested I do a tandem skydiving jump. I’ve always kind of thought I might like to try it and I actually talked about it some-but, when it came right down to it; I chickened out. There was also the cheap [...]

Cowering from the Sun

Wayne Mumford — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:49:33 +0000

We have had a run of “good” weather, we got to see the sun for a couple days without arctic temperatures and we seem to be moving into the early spring mode of a weather change every five minutes or so and temperatures creeping into the mid 40’s and even low 50’s. It has been [...]

Nasty looking scud pattern

Wayne Mumford — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 01:07:39 +0000

Via Cp’s fly fishing and fly tying. The scud is one of those all around utilitarian patterns, one that can work in a lot of different places, could look like a couple different aquatic critters and isn’t necessarily for trout only. Scud patterns are hot items on a lot Montana waters including the Bighorn river and [...]

Move it on over

Wayne Mumford — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 01:39:19 +0000

Alrighty then! We made it through the site move relatively unscathed. One site is broken, can’t seem to find the css file that pretty much holds the whole thing together but other than that things are not looking to badly. How the css got lost is quite beyond me considering the total byte load that [...]

Website move is on…

Wayne Mumford — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 04:07:09 +0000

What’s the old line, “will you still love me tomorrow”? Email is down, comments nixed, I have to work early in the morning so drinking is out of the question. I guess there is a certain “lightness of being” at this point.
