Retreating to the lakes

by Wayne Mumford June 1, 2011

Montana rivers and streams are off the fishing map for awhile (duh!). Not a lot of rain for a few days and still cool temperatures are really not letting a lot of snow pack go yet and while the flows are again drifting down under flood stage in most places, any moisture will take them [...]

More on Montana snow pack, flooding | Host move winding down | Lake fishing

by Wayne Mumford May 29, 2011

I’m cynically optimistic that the host move for WillFishForWork is complete and the minesweepers have done their jobs. It was one of several that I moved and taking all into consideration, it could have been worse. The state of Montana’s rivers, snow pack, weather, runoff conditions is getting a lot of press, coffee table talk [...]

Montana Snow Pack- May 17, 2011

by Wayne Mumford May 17, 2011

The talk of the town right now is of course snow pack, runoff, blow outs, muddy water, flooding and the coming weather.

Montana Snow Pack- March 20, 2011

by Wayne Mumford March 21, 2011

It’s snowing here in NW Montana this morning, not the nice fluffy powder stuff we’ve seen all winter but the wet messy stuff that will just add a little less consistency to the growing mud bogs. It’s spring, whether it looks like it or not. The main stem of the Flathead is pumping up, has [...]

The snow continues to fall but it’s starting to feel like the cold spells are losing their grip. A couple weeks back we had a good shot of arctic air  that came in and hung on for a few days. Early this week it dipped again but not so hard and only stayed on for [...]

by Wayne Mumford January 22, 2011

Since early January the weather has settled down some compared to the barrage of cold, precip heavy storms in December. We went through the traditional January thaw mid month and have settled into a weather pattern more like what we’ve seen the last few years. Who knows what it will do, it’s been one of [...]

April 21, 2010 Montana snow pack report

by Wayne Mumford April 21, 2010

Heat wave. Monday through today’s high- 80°F! Seeing the snow recede is like watching an sno-cone melting.  Problem is, there is not much to melt in these parts. It is suppose to cool back down into the 50′s toward Thursday so that should slow things down a bit. I hate to say it, I could [...]

Cowering from the Sun

by Wayne Mumford February 25, 2010

We have had a run of “good” weather, we got to see the sun for a couple days without arctic temperatures and we seem to be moving into the early spring mode of a weather change every five minutes or so and temperatures creeping into the mid 40′s and even low 50′s. It has been [...]
