Oh Yeah! Bring on the Cold!

[Big Sky]

One of the nice things about fishing when others don't want to play outside is that you can have the water basically to yourself. I kind'a like that. I also love the fact that we have open water around here year-round thanks to a few dams on the Missouri River.

These fish are so darn nice looking in the winter and boy do they ever fight! Caught on a marabou jig.

The markings on these fishing really vary.

What cold winter's day would be complete without my favorite kind of brownies? Actually caught this one on a glass minnow jig instead of a marabou.

Long skinny guy. I can certainly think of much worse ways to spend a cold winter's day.

Nice fish.
About the only time you can get trout there is now or very early spring.
Did you ever make it back Ling fishing ?
I was afraid you got snowed in someplace I have not seen any wonderful pictures of dead coyotes from you for months...
Times a wasting.

Its getting to be that time of year for me that I put my flyting list together, dust off my rods, catch the Fly Film Tours and look for spring.

Great fish as always. Thanks for sharing.

I always enjoy your fishing pics, no exception today either. Great looking colors and fish! Have you ever tried fishing the pot-holes in your driveway after a good rain? I'm starting to think all you need is a wet spot and you'll catch a beautiful trout.

Very nice fish! My father in law is from Great Falls and is always singing the praises of the Missouri.

I wish I were out stacking up coyotes and ling fishing, but I've down with the flu for a couple weeks now. Hope to be back on my feet soon.

Always admire your fish pics.
Looks like fun. Well done.

I was hoping for something in the neighborhood of a fly rod with a black stone fly. Just kidding BS, as I alway enjoy you fish photos.

Great fish - way too cold for this flatlander! I caught a chill even just looking at the photos.

Beautiful fish! And beautiful spot to be fishing.
