Sorry DG, I already have your spot http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif . Actually I have fished some of the spots we hit while you were here and have done fairly well http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif.
Yes there are a lot of people on the big name rivers which is why once the mountains open up, I head off to fish alpine lakes. Not nearly as crowded and the fishing is more enjoyable. And some the lakes I fish are a real pain in the *** ti get to which really helps reduce the number of the people I see.
Yes the Gallatin Valley is expensive, especially trying to have a family. I do ok on my own but since I am single I can definitely get by.

Take care everyone and cya around. Mark
If your serious about moving up you might try looking farther north,the winters are actually easier and some of the small towns are better than you would think I know because I live in one and as far as prejudiced pigs i met just as many or more
anywhere else I've lived.For the most part Montanans treat you like you treat them.
Steve, I'm on the road and can't spend a ton of time responding to this thread. While we didn't migrate from Cali, we did move from another "C" state. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif I'll be happy to set you straight on moving to Montana. I don't want to burst some peoples bubble, in this thread, but times change and Montana changes...

The YAAK!!! Oh gardenfish tell me you didn't
we try to keep the yaak secret [what happens in the yaak stays in the yaak kind of thing]
Did you happen to hit the dirty shame for dinner and a beer?
The house right next door is for sale. It's a manufactured home built in the 70s out of particle board and other crap of the time. It's got 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. I think they're asking $219,000 for it. It has a 2 car garage. A house like it anywhere else would go for about half what they're asking, probably less. 5 years ago it would have sold for a fair price but now it's obscene around here. There is little work to be had here, but if you want to live next door you're welcome to. You can help me load my boat in the morning before going out to toil in the fields trying to make ends meet around here.

To all you flyfishers NOT from Steve's area of California. This was an agricultural area before it became the computer chip capital of the world and then the place got built up and the orchards went down. A "starter home" around here is $750,000 and you sit in traffic to get home to it. Guys like Steve and I were lucky if we got houses before it went nuts. It is always a shame that the most beautiful places draw lots of people to move there but fortunately there are nice people to be found in every state. Some will be fly fishers, too.
Greg,
Very true.. It just seems that the nice people are getting harder to find or even
see.
Maybe it is just me..
