Temps, Flows, a Catch and Clays

Weather is finally behaving like spring.  As you can see, temps rising nicely everyday, dropping below 40 every evening.

 The rivers run accordingly. During the warmest part of the day, mountain snows will melt and send a surge of water through the system. Here's a look at the Clark Fork graph showing flows.
The river drops and clears a little in the morning, while the late afternoon to midnight times are murkier and high. Runoff has begun.

Zac managed to trick a nice fish the other day. I'll bet he knows where another one is hanging out. You should ask him.

Andy and I went to the clays range yesterday and reset a trap machine resulting in a VERY CHALLENGING target. We broke it once out of 6 attempts. It is a very long distance shot. I'm going to try it again today but may have to adjust it again to make it a little more attainable.

I'm also going to a National Sporting Clays Association Registered Shoot this weekend in Billings, MT. Wish me luck. PLEASE.

Sharp Hooks and Tight Lines,
