It's my birthday, and I'm going fishing

[406LIFE]

For the past 8 years I always go fishing on my birthday. Sometimes that's found me on lake in North Carolina, or on the Niagara River in Buffalo, NY. Today I will be on Rock Creek just outside Philipsburg, MT. The weather is a balmy 35 and will peak at 41 around 4pm. I will of course throw some dryflies because I am an unapologetic dryfly snob, but I will likely switch over to a nymph just to catch a fish. My wife is joining me, under protest, since she doesn't like the cold (Alabama belle). However, she relented when I played the birthday card.

I am very blessed to be able to call Montana my home. I am very blessed to be able to jump into a world-class water whenever I please. I am simply blessed.

Happy birthday! Yes you are blessed to live in Montana. I'll be up there at our place in mid April.

I saw a couple fish rising yesterday on the Blackfoot, including one that ate my bobber. Hope you have a great birthday and catch a fish or two.

I was fishing there last November, had some great sport near the Big Horn bed breakfast place, some nice fish there.

Good luck and have a great day. Watch up on the slopes above you and you might see a ram or two!!

Nice afternoon, saw some little brown stones hatching and was able to get some action. Not a ton, but better than I expected on a March day.
