Overcast day on Hemingway's Flat

Overcast day on Hemingway’s Flat

 

As I sit here writing this, the boys (Jason and Fred) are fishing their way down the Yellowstone, I’m a little jealous.  But, someone has to keep the shop open and that’s me.  This is my last day of the season in the shop for me.  I’m back at Great Divide, where aging snow cats and snowmobiles are waiting to break down, so I can fix them again.

I would like to say thank you to Jason, Sheila, Fred, Cindy, and Jannette, the Wolf Creek Angler crew, for another absolutely enjoyable season on the Missouri, here in Wolf Creek.

A big thank you to all my fellow guides…the beer drinking behind the shop, going over our days, good or bad, what worked, what didn’t, well, you guys know how much fun that is!

And of course a huge thank you to the Wolf Creek Angler Customers!  You guys and gals are what make being here so much fun (well that and the fishing’s pretty good too)!  Over the last four years I’ve come to know a lot of you very well, I can’t name you all, but when I see your names in the lodging book, I always look forward to your arrival.  Exchanging fishing stories with you guys is great, I never tire of the enthusiasm everyone has for this great fishery.  Success stories, whether it’s something I turned you on to, or vice versa, always makes my day!

The fishing isn’t done yet…I think mother nature owes us a good dose of blue winged olive before Winter really sets in.  If not that, then at least throwing streamers and hoping for that big brown that you know is hiding in that seam coming off that rock will do.

Again, thank you to all that made my 2014 season successful, and filled with lot’s of fun!  Stay warm, see you next year!—Matt
