OUTLOOK
We just got back from our trip to Montana and wow it looks as though we didn’t miss much. Actually that’s not true. We missed some crazy weather. Just in case you were worried about us… the blue skies in Montana were a little bright and the 17-degree weather was just a little hot for my liking. But we toughed it out.
All kidding aside I feel for everyone who has been braving the rain and though it has definitely affected the fishing and access there are some positive notes. If you can follow the weather closely and watch the water and temperature graphs, usually the best fishing is in that sweet spot after the storms. Check out all the river reports for some water numbers, some predictions and our best forecast for what’s to come.
Everyone has been asking about what we were doing in Montana. Jason and I attended the American Fly Fishing Tackle Association Dealer Summit. While our travel schedule didn’t allow us to get out fishing we saw some epic country, met some very cool people who like us are passionate about fishing and we got to hit up some true Mecca fishing destinations. Probably the coolest was the famous Simms factory. While they don’t offer tours to the public we were lucky enough to get a tour as part of the AFFTA Dealer summit. It is easy to see why for over 15 years they have been the top-performing wader in the world. Their attention to detail, the technology they use and the attitude of all their staff is something to behold.
We are going to have some super cool content walking you through their unique manufacturing process as well as some early release info on the new and quite honestly revolutionary G3 waders. Jason tried to steal a pair. He wore them out under his jeans but they busted him on the bus ride home.
Again all jokes aside we have a preliminary review coming soon and we will be the first to have them in Vancouver. Keep following the report for the details.
