Montana Snow Pack and Precipitation

Bass out west | Montana in spring

by Wayne Mumford May 4, 2012

Still working on what I hope is a good relationship with a new PC. I have been busy reinstalling this and that and trying to get stuff backed up that should have been backed up LONG AGO. I’d relate the experience as being similar to doing a detox/colon cleanse using acid based smoothies and a [...]

Meltdown continues | alt worm material | CDC loop wing emerger

by Wayne Mumford April 23, 2012

I’m still nursing this ol’ computer along till the new one arrives hoping that it doesn’t go into it’s final nose dive in the meantime. I admit I’m cheap but I also believe in bleeding every last drop out my stuff because I hate contributing to the earths burgeoning landfills without making the most of [...]

Montana Fly Fishing Magazine Spring issue | Pebble Mine Press Release

by Wayne Mumford April 15, 2012

Ah yes, the return of snow. A humbling reminder that snow is still just a cold front away. Spring tornado season on the plains seems to turn the northwest weather pattern into a side eddy where everything just sits  and slowly gets vacuumed into a collection of  whatever weather conditions happen to be in the [...]

PC augers in | Spring (like real solar warmth you can feel)

by Wayne Mumford April 11, 2012

This sort of symbolizes the condition of my PC about a week ago. Well, maybe the actual visuals weren’t quite as good but it’s probably a good representation of what happens to computer innards when a virus sneaks through the antivirus bulwarks and rips your bits and bytes to shreds. It took some doing but [...]

Earth Day Condoms | Ready-Heat Blankets | Montana snow pack- March 30, 2012

by Wayne Mumford March 30, 2012

Earth Day Condoms “Wrap with care…save the Polar bear”. The Center for Biological Diversity is celebrating Earth Day this year by giving away 100,000 free endangered species condoms. The idea of course is to help put a “cap” on the ever expanding human population on the planet. I’m surprised they didn’t go for the tactile, [...]

Spring | April Volkey on Fly Fishing Internet Radio | The Muskytoe

by Wayne Mumford March 20, 2012

First day of spring, uh-huh. Temperatures aside, you would think it was December in some places around the state the way the snow has been falling. Not a good time to be cutting lines in the backcountry. It’s tricky enough keeping it between the lines in the low lands. We probably won’t have to listen [...]

Montana Snow Pack Report (March 15, 2012) | Nemoura (Little Brown Stoneflies) | Food and Gold at Bristol Bay

by Wayne Mumford March 15, 2012

My first run out to the river for the season always goes like this. Bad weather just beyond the morning horizon but it’s beautiful (and this year-very cold) now. There might be enough time, better run for it. Being caught off guard (as usual) I grab some gear and toss it into the back seat, [...]

Montana snow pack, Feb. 22, 2012 | HookedNow Ezine| Hunters shoot down activist drone

by Wayne Mumford February 22, 2012

The storm front that came in today brought a lot of rain and wind to the valleys and foothills of western Montana. This evening the snowline looked to be about 5000 ft. The high country should see another good shot of heavy snow. And when I say heavy, think moist. Another layer on the already [...]
