Not even a week ago I was sniveling about the balmy conditions. Mud, slush and slop. Well, it took about 24 hours starting Monday to go from 45°F to 0° by Tuesday am and to continue its decent to an arctic -17° last night. Right before going over the temperture cliff we got a pretty [...]

Pike Porn

by Wayne Mumford September 15, 2009

Before this summer I really never paid much attention to Northern Pike. That ended when the kids came home from the local lake sputtering verbs  about pike so fast I could hardly understand them. I listened to it for about a week- way to long.
If you have never experienced a pike attack on top water [...]

TyGer Leader

by Wayne Mumford September 10, 2009

August was marked by to much domestic crap and not even close to enough fishing. We managed to sneak off to a nearby warmwater lake to chase Northern’s a couple nights a week for some topwater action. Right about sundown the ‘gators come topside looking for about anything that moves and that has made for [...]

August?

by Wayne Mumford August 12, 2009

The weather seems hardly anything but. The end of July seemed like it was priming us for a hot finish to the summer but it hasn’t happened. Thunderstorms, torrential downpours and wind have been the norm. Fire, smoke, oven heat and dry lightening, the usual August stuff are nowhere to be found. I did have [...]

Watching live “fish porn” on a Nature Vision, Inc. \ Fish TV of course. I know this might offend some purist sensibilities, bordering on the edge of “Bubba” tackle, but in a land where winter forces you to some extreme measures, like boring a hole in the ice to get your fishing jollies; sometimes you [...]

Montana snow pack 12/01/09

by Wayne Mumford January 1, 2009

I know the sun still out there somewhere because we still have day and night but as far as actually seeing it; a couple times in the last two weeks. Snow, snow, snow and more snow. Temperatures are a little more seasonable, maybe a little on the warm side. The snow pack is beginning to [...]

Why does snow have to be cold?

by Wayne Mumford December 22, 2008

If you live in Montana, snow and cold in winter is just a fact of life. This year, by late November we had no snow to hunt in, skiers were SOL and the usual end of the month run on snow was nowhere to be found. The first week of Decemeber rolls in and the [...]

Pike, they aren’t as sexy as trout, but they sure are fun.

by Wayne Mumford April 26, 2008

Its like comparing the hot, sexy blonde with the girl in the checkered dress, high stockings and thick glasses. One’s been hit on so many times she doesn’t even know, or care, that you’re actually making a pass. The other is tearing you to shreds before shes finished her first drink.
So it goes with Pike [...]
