Lots of Fishy Business

We finally have gotten out to do some fishing this month. Brock has definitely done more than I have but we've gone out together a few times.
First there was the Yellowstone River....



Yes, this is a partially knocked over power line. The high waters this year did a number on this post and we had to float by it. It was totally bouncing in the current as we passed it, it was clearly unstable. I was pretty nervous about it but we survived.


Then there was a night on the Upper Madison....

Brock has a nice customer that owns the Montana Spirit Lodge and 40 acres on the Madison. He invited us out to his place to fish and stay in their lodge. We decided to take him up on his offer and went out to fish but didn't spend the night because of church the next day.
We got there and visited with the owner and his wife and toured their super nice lodge. After visiting we geared up and headed down to the river. The fishing was pretty good, we caught a lot a little fish.
After fishing we headed back up to the lodge and they fed us dinner and dessert. They are such nice people!



Next was Brock's trip to Idaho....
 Our friend the Doctor, invited Brock on a man's fishing trip in Idaho. So Brock and Daegan fished like mad men all day and caught a ton of fish.

Lastly, Hyalite Lake...

This week we went up to the lake for FHE with some pals and roasted Hog Dogs and made S'mores. The lake looked amazing!

Meanwhile...
I had to snap a pic of this huge ....tractor?....what ever it is, because I couldn't believe they were seriously driving it on the road. Really? Only in Montana!

We left the dogs in the car while we ran into the store. While we were gone, Boog delicately pulled his new box of treats out of the grocery sack, placed it on my seat, opened the box at the perforated tab and enjoyed a delicious treat!
