Four more days until I am in Montana.  My father-in-law and I have been planning a trip to the Madison for a number of months.  We have never been to Montana so we are both very excited and are looking forward to the experience.  We are going to stay at a place called the Papoose Creek Lodge.  It looks like an amazing place, but most importantly they use fly fishing guides from the Blue Ribbon Fly Shop in Yellowstone.  I have heard nothing but good things about the Blue Ribbon guides from all my friends.  I will let you know how everything went when I get back.

Lastly I would like to thank Josi Etter for letting me use one of her beautiful pictures of a rainbow trout for the header of my blog.  I really like the concept of her business, Sketch & Release.  If you send her a picture of a fish that you caught, Josi will create a wonderful watercolor painting of your fish.  The paintings make a special gift and a really nice addition to your office, den, or showcase.

That is all for now.  I will make another entry when I get back from Montana.
