They Just Don't Write Like That Anymore...

This song really Kicks-___...known as the Break-Up Song...from the late 70's...check it out on You tube...relive your childhood...I know I do, daily. The childhood part. A common theme with guides, doing what they love and disregarding everything our parents taught us.

The parallel I am getting at with this entry has to do with the Missouri. They don't make rivers like this anymore. This river blows doors off of many others. If you like big fish...on top, on the bottom, swinging, and so forth...reminds me of another pursuit that we all love...

As I have certainly told you the Missouri has not fished this well in 10 years. The amazing stat about the Mo can be described as another cliche analogy...Bad pizza is like bad sex...even when it's bad it's still pretty good, darn good.

If you are not making your annual pilgrimage this year, I'm sorry. My condolences from all who are here, have been here, or are coming here in the banner year of 2009. Start making plans for 2010 and into the foreseeable future. Two water years like this and last will provide outstanding fishing for at least 3 years. We have the precedental years of '97-'98 to look back upon and those of you who remember the Utopia need not tell a soul...you can tell your best friend about it, if you want. Just don't tell those arseholes in the cubicle next to you.,...not your boss either. Just slash his tires...or better yet...put a small pebble, very small, under his valve cap, tighten just enough to release the air slowly...and walk away smiling.

I have clients, JT & PT, that do not tell their friends that they fish the Mo. "Where do you fella's fish in Montana?" Reply: " You know, the Madison, Gallatin."

Put that in your Blog and Smoke it!

Capt. Carp and SOL will be fishing No Tell 'Em Creek for BIG CARP on a dry in August. We'll tell you whee it's at for a handle of Bombay Sapphire.
