FISHING IN "BIG SKY COUNTRY"

This "Big Sky" life is hard on a guy! I think though, that in another ten or maybe fifteen years I'll be tough enough to not complain so much. So please accept my apologies for doing so, but I think you understand...

I got a text message from a teacher that I substituted for last year this past Friday. He wanted to know if I would like to float the Missouri River with him in his drift boat. I mean, seriously. I didn't even have to think about that one (of course, he failed to mention that I would also have to row while HE fished...the nerve of some guys!). There was only one thing keeping us from going though, the weather. As with just about anywhere, the weather in Montana can be a bit finicky this time of the year.
