Whitetails in Montana

Thumbnail image for Whitetails in Montana

I’m really not much of a big game hunter and definitely not a horn or trophy hunter. My idea of hunting is much more culinary in nature, shoot the first legal size animal that comes along that’s in good shape and head home to more pressing (fishing type) matters. Pretty much opposite my approach to [...]

Arctic Grayling

by Wayne Mumford May 4, 2009

Sunday we decided to make our first pilgrimage of the year to Rogers Lake for a Grayling slugfest. Two years ago the lake suffered from late summer heat that resulted in a significant loss of the Arctic Grayling in the lake. Last year the fishing still wasn’t bad but it definitely was not like previous [...]

Summer Days

by Wayne Mumford August 11, 2008

Like a good boy, this morning I did a few chores around the house. I went out and did a quick job so no one could accuse me of being a slacker. Then I checked out.

To go play in the puddles.
I caught three trout that pounded an olive biot body soft hackle till I lost [...]

Fishing Montana’s Missouri River

by Wayne Mumford August 7, 2008

Decent weather, plenty of water, lots of Caddis, a river full of big fish and I had the worst run of the summer. People who know the river will no doubt wonder about about my fishing abilities, and indeed I am too. It may take weeks to get my game back on. Nothing like a [...]

Over the 4th we fished the upper Clark fork and although it was high and murky from [...]

The Missouri “cleanse” continues…

by Wayne Mumford June 5, 2008

A quick visit over to the Trout Shop (Craig, Montana) and we find that the river is still getting flushed and that is likely to continue for the near future. Boats are recommended and wading is definitely not. Most of the fishing action is sub-surface. It continues to be cool, showery and probably snowing in [...]

Montana weather and the “wake zone”

by Wayne Mumford May 23, 2008

The afternoon started with rain and wind. Fishing was lousy for me, a lot of casting practice. I was out fished by my youngest son yet again. To make matters worse the jet boat freaks with skis, tubes and boards began their summer assault on the lake.
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks sold out yet again [...]

Largemouth Bass and that other kind of fishing…

by Wayne Mumford May 19, 2008

Ok, so I’m primarily into fly fishing but…
There are very rare times when it has its limitations or, should I say, I personally lack the patience, persistence and time to endure the pummeling necessary to experience some of the higher plateaus of fly fishing consciousness.
Case in point, Largemouth Bass. I know very little about them [...]
