Everything's gonna be alright...true words by Bob Marley. Case in point...Missouri River. Not so great fishing as we speak,the concession is nymphing. Fish gotta eat brother.Perfect weather prevails throughout the next week...can you come up with a better plan than meandering along a world class tailwater...what more could you ask? If you have to ask...well, I will have to edit the comments rolling around in my infinitesimally minute brain.
Summer is nearing it's end. Boy, I love summer. Fall is Kick-Ass too. Fall Baetis fishing is some of the finest dry fly angling on earth. And it is coming to a famous river near you. If this phenomenon does not make it to your local river, look up the Missouri. You might like it. Don't tell your friends.
Could'ja be, could'ja be, could'ja be loved...idealism or realism...your choice...say somethin', reggae reggae, rasta, rasta...could'ja be, could'ja be, could'ja be loved...
If you are in some sort of life changing or end of season funk...let it hang out friend. And if you are, please don't call me...although if you need a hint...fish...cheaper than a psychotherapist.
Maybe I am in some sort of end of summer funk? Why would this topic even enter my personal stream of consciousness and went the President Reagan direction...Trickle Down Economics. I was an American History major for a number of years, meaning a bunch. Has this concept been smoldering within the interior of my thick skull. There is certainly enough underbrush in there to perpetuate these very small flames...but really mostly just smoke. Sub-conscious thought patterns must dictate most of our decision making processes. Frightening for me...but most likely comes out better in the end. My rational thought is the antithesis of clear thinking.
Stir it up, stir it up, stir it up...little darlin' stir it up...your recipe darlin' is so tasty...
No, I am definitely not in a summertime funk. I just thought I was...based on the mood of the river...but as moods change and evolve, so does the greatest and most fascinating living creature I know...Mother Mo'. Everything is cyclical, including minds and rivers.
Bottom Line: Don't worry about a thing...Dig out those 8 tracks of Bob Marley and the Wailers and chuck them into the gully behind your house. Then pop in the CD, or better yet...tune in the IPod and groove, dance, and jig on your back porch; all the while dreaming about free rising trout and the best damn reach cast you have ever let fly...until your wife gets home.
I wanna love ya', and treat you right...Is this love, is this love, is this love that I'm feeling...So I throw my cards on your table...
Michelle Wells Benefit
An now an update from Craig Montana and how we all can help a dear friend of the Village of Craig, Michelle Wells...the friendliest bartender on the face of the earth.
Michelle has been diagnosed with cancer and the community of Craig is mounting a donation campaign to assist Michelle in her effort to battle this horrific medical condition. Joe's Bar sponsored in event in early August and it was a terrific success raising several thousand dollars towards medical expenses. As I'm sure you understand, this just scratches the surface. Her health insurance will not cover the entire expense of the treatment and that is where we come in. As a result, the community will not stop moving forward until we have exhausted the avenues that are open to us in our campaign for Michelle.All of the businesses in Craig will be accepting monetary donations throughout Michelle's battle with cancer. Labor Day Weekend will yet again be full of Fly Rodders and any donation amount will be greatly appreciated.
Headhunters will be raising money for Michelle by offering the following products and services for a fixed donation amount. They will be sold to the first buyer via phone call and offered only once at this time. The goods are as follows...
