Gary Rundquist of Moorhead, MN booked his trip through Stumptown Anglers, of Whitefish, Montana. I invited Professional Bull Rider Beau Hill along as Beau intends on guiding part time this summer. Its good for Beau to get as much river time as possible. The weather was cold but the fish were eating. It wasn’t fast and furious but certainly kept our interest all day. We caught 7 fish. We probably hooked another 7 but lost them. Gary did a very good job for having never casted a fly rod. As is often the case in early spring, the fish were big and fat. Beau fished streamers most of the day but finally switched to a nymph rig, resulting in a 19.5 inch cutthroat that was a big around as I have seen on this river. I am sure the fish exceeded 4 lbs. The picture is not great, having taken it from my Blackberry. Can’t wait for summer to arrive! I am excited to start fishing dries.
