Originally I had planned to be on the South Fork (Snake), HFork, Beaverhead, or Missouri fishing by last week.
Now, as minor delay heaps on minor delay, it looks like I’ll be doing well to actually make it much before Mother’s day. I’m retired and do the 6 month long Montahoming trout bum thing each summer, but I’m having trouble getting ‘on the road again’ this year.
Note for others to learn from: … don’t plan semi-major home improvements involving several different trades and contractors just before vacation time
When you do get out and about do drop us a note or call when you’re in the Livingston Montana region. Trav and I will be home by the end of this week (April 30, 2010). Always willing to point our FAOL folks in the right direction.

I’ve spent much of the last 9 seasons in 'Greater Yellowstone" but, believe it or not, have never been to Livingston. I keep threatening to go there and fish the famous spring creeks, but I’m both kinda cheap and ideologically opposed to ‘pay to play.’
Never been to the Big Horn, either. Had it in the back of my mind for this year’s time before Park/ general season opener … but, as I said, that time is getting used up quickly.
Thanks …I’ve a lot of time spent on the HFork, Warm River to Fun Farm as well as on the Ranch. I was hoping to wade fish the South Fork ( never fished it ) but methinks the water may be too high by the time I get rolling
Kimshew, they just raised the river to 2200 cfs this last week which really isn’t much compared to the high flows of the summer. There are still a lot of wade fishing opportunities but they will start disappearing here soon. I am almost strictly a wade fisherman and I plan to spend a lot of time there in the coming weeks until they bump the flows up. Let me know when your in the area and I can point you in the right direction!
