Joe and I fished on Monday  It was fun initially but my casting was bad, I did manage to catch a fish on a dry fly, and stuck some nice fish on droppers, it got windy and blew us off  the river after a 2 hour float on the Bitterroot.  The float was fun though, I feel like the dropper fishing can be great right now, the dry fly fishing is a week or so out.  It is supposed to get warm and that will get em going.  I did see some capnias and bigger stone’s/ skwala are coming shortly.

I start guiding next week so I have been busy, well kind of,  see for yourself.

Brooks Jessen’s checklist

– Get new BBQ grill, we grill lunches for our clients and I wore my last one out from cooking ribs and burgers.

-Repack wheel bearings on both of my trailers, I bought a new drift boat trailer last year, and I’ll be damned if the bearings and seals didn’t go out, luckily I found this out from the guys at Tire O Rama and avoided a catastrophe.

– Sight in my elk rifle, I put a new scope on it and I don’t want to not be ready next Fall, Why am I doing this now?

-Fix Joe Cummings chronograph, I can’t properly sight in my rifle if I don’t know how fast my bullets are going!

-Fix my truck bumper.   I backed into a nice metal pole and trashed my bumper and tailgate, good times.

-Check out the Sunday Slump buster from shootinghead.com, this is a must but it might be more than R rated so be careful, no Kids!

-Fix my freddies, I need to trim the posts, but I still want them to hold up a dropper.

-Color the legs on my stone-fly nymphs, they aren’t the correct shade, they should be olive, not green, and I have 20 dozen times 8 legs per bug, this should be fun!

DUDE, I need to get back ON THE RIVER!!!!!!!!
