Sunday Tribute Video Nirvana

Kurt Cobain passed 25 years ago this week. April 5th 1994.

A pretty big part of my youth was mis-spent drinking, dancing, and enjoying live music in the Pacific NW.

Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Had an album release party at the house I lived in in downtown Tacoma WA. The album was Nevermind from Nirvana. The second commercial release from this legendary grunge band. Danced all night long in our living room with 30 of my closest friends.

The video, while not the explosive and energetic style that Nirvana displayed on stage with the full electric components, reveals the intimacy of the band and certainly Kurt. That is why I chose this vid.

As you know this is a David Bowie tune that Cobain covered. The Man who Sold the World is a fine tune.

Rock stars die too young. Great ones.

Nirvana changed the world, how we listen and love music. It certainly made an impression on myself and friends closest to me at the time. Hearing the tributes this past week brought a ton of those thoughts, feelings, and emotions of that period of my life in the early 90’s.

Saw tons of grunge and live acts in the Seattle/Tacome/Olympia I-5 corridor in my youth. Including Nirvana. Awesome.

Enjoy your Sunday and listening to a bit of Nirvana.

The Man Who Sold the World. Nirvana. Unplugged.

Watch it. Then cruise around YouTube watching and listening to the genius of Kurt’s melodic punk inspired compositions.

Watch the first vid and then the second. The latter is the one to knock the dust from the rafters.

Lithium. A good one.

Turn it up to 11. Dance in your living room. Invite your family to join you. Do it. It’s good for your constitution.

Saving Grayling Vid

A cool mid-week vid from the Centennial Valley near the boarder in Montana.

Squeeky’s dad spent 3 summers working on this project. Enjoyed it. Said that everyone should take the drive into this stunning place.

And yes, the headwaters of the Mighty Mo start in this neighborhood. So the waters you view in this video runs downstream, to the hallowed Missouri River waters.

Enjoy the vid. Spiring is here. Fishing is good. Montana is good. Grayling are good.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=38&v=G3KG0wn_TqE”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Soul Sunday Marvin Gaye What’s Going On

Could listen to this Marvin Gaye song over and over.

Great message. Social commentary, not social media,  from Marvin Gaye that still holds water.

Soul Sunday here on the Headhunters Blog.

Cool and drizzling on the river today.

Spring has sprung. Lots of anglers out there. Still no access to the lower river boat ramps. Maybe next week.

Enjoy March Madness if you are so inclined. Tie flies. Clean fly lines. Clean all of your gear. I bet your rod and reels need a bit of attention too.

Just don’t get reel lube on the couch. It stains forever![/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppvBWIzvPvU”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Soul Saturday If you want me to stay Sly and the Family Stone

Super groovy. Sly has a killer voice!

A legendary group from the past. Sly and the Family Stone made up of many family, Stone, members and a bunch of other cool cats.

I want this song to be my new “Walk Up Music” walking from the truck to the boat in the morning.

Or the Red Hot Chili Peppers version. Both really.

I’m down with the outfit. Kinda guide like. Floppy hat, albeit with holes in it. Some sort of scarf/Buff around the head and neck. Knowing you got game. Sure. For sure.

But rock stars are way cooler than fishing guides.

Have you ever seen the sticker that says…

Nobody cares that you are a fishing guide bro’

Practice Week continues with Tim Rajeff

Practice Week continues with Tim Rajeff

by

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Practice Week continues with Tim Rajeff

Well, we agree with everything Tim Rajeff is talking about. You should too.

A key phrase he mentioned in the opening is that practice happens when you are away from the fish. Practice does not happen when you are staring at rising trout. Your cast does not have an opportunity to improve when your knees are quivering with the sight of rising fish.

Practice. Pros practice. Those who catch more trout practice.

Do you practice swinging your golf clubs? Do you see the Course Pro once in a while? Annually?

It’s not like we here at Headhunters are telling you to go out in the garage and lift weights!

It’s casting practice. 10 minutes. Fun stuff. Stuff you can do while drinking beer. Double fun stuff.

Develop your casting practice routine and catch more fish this year.

Headhunters is your Missouri River Eduction Source here in Craig Montana. We can help. Casting lessons available from our in house experts who are well versed in teaching casting skills.

Call today and we will get you set up with the right instructor![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62FDc3sXk3s” video_title=”1″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SA Casting Loop Video

by

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

SA Casting Loop Video

#1 error from casters that I see in the boat? They never stop the rod on either the fore or aft cast. Perpetual motion.

Analogous to throwing a dart, you must stop the forward motion of the rod.

You have to stop the rod. You have to. It is a must.

It is physics. I don’t make that poop up man. Many guests believe I am speaking gibberish.

And, some of them are right?

I always say that the fishing stuff spurting from my mouth is true. All of the non-fishing diarrhea emanating from my person? Straight BS.

See folks. Watch the video. I’m not making it up!

Watch that fellers rod stop on the front and back. It stops. Like your hand hitting a brick wall. It stops.

And there is a pause to let the line straighten. You cannot push fly line. No matter how hard or fast or whippy you try.

You gotta stop the rod. There is not a substitute for this.

Do yourself a favor in 2019 and take some casting lessons. BEFORE YOU COME TO THE RIVER.

You know professionals take lessons every day. Professionals have casting instructors. Yes they do. Honest. Speaking with Whitney Gould a couple weeks ago, who is currently the Women’s World Champion Spey Caster, while she was on a break from her casting instructor. Yes, the best in the world have casting instructors. The best in the world have casting instructors.

So, many of us do not fish 100+ days a year. We may only fish 3 days a year. Those anglers also need casting lessons. Honest.

The best in the world get coaching. Lots of coaching.

Guide Ben Hardy always says that when you come here you are not to practice your cast. The Missouri River is the SHOW! You don’t practice your baseball swing when you get to the World Series? Nope.

So practice happens before you get here. In your lawn on Sundays for 10 minutes a week. Or seek out a casting professional and raise the bar man. Preferably both.

I have had guests do just that. Get casting lessons. Practice for short periods of time before you arrive. Don’t go and practice for an hour. Nobody casts fro an hour straight. Shorter periods of practice, more often That is a recipe for casting success.

Do you know the outcome of practicing? More trout to hand. More success. Bigger smiles.

Yes, bigger smiles.

And life is too short to trim the smiles from your day.

Pick Up the Pieces Average White Band

I find myself singing this as we are walking around the shop shoveling snow from roofs, sidewalks, ice dams in the gutters, thinking about how to get the rental boats out from under the heavy white blanket, and dreaming of summer!

The air temps have been creeping from the basement the past couple days with some melt happening. The surface roads are clear. The parking lots and areas alongside the road are not. Still not a great time to head out fishing. But we will update you this week on the improvements along the river corridor.

Lots and lots of calls to the shop daily in regards the fishing scene. No scene yet fella’s. Maybe this week.

Making room for all of the cool spring gear that is flooding the shop. Flies galore, SIMMS, sage, Loomis rods, fly lines, sun gear, springtime fishing gloves…

The staff is bowling again today as we wait out winter. No fishing to be had, so we turn to bowling and beer. Closed early today for our staff outing.

I bet we are back on track late this coming week with shuttles, guide trips, and the like. The rental properties are ready to go for your Cabin Fever Guide Trips $400 starting this Friday!

While we continue to Pick Up the Pieces we hope you enjoy this video from The Average White Band.

I do own a couple bamboo rods made by the boys at Sweetgrass Bamboo Rods. They are both great. Love to fish them.

Occasionally.

I do like the action, the history, and the look of that sweet bamboo!

Most of the time I do throw a hyper fast dry fly stick. Most do on the Mo. The right tool for the job.

You cannot replace the fantastic feel of casting, hooking, and fighting a dry fly fed brown trout with that classic piece of history.

Enjoy the trailer today on the HH blog.

Damn cold this morning at -9F with a 6″+ compliment of snow fro this last dump. We have to all the way til tomorrow to receive our next dose of the white stuff.

Summertime Covers

Summertime Covers

Summertime is a few months away. Shucks. Snowing hard in Craig today. And the week ahead. Not many hints of summer out there. The river is frozen. It is wintertime. Not Summertime!

Been singing this tune to myself for a month now.

Now, time to impregnate your brain with it.

A great one from the Gershwin’s/Porgy and Bess mid 30’s.

The inter-web states there could be 25,000 covers of this tune.

Sublime is a good one with the lyrics changed. All of the Jazz greats covered it too. The 3 Queens: Sarah, Ella, Billie. The Chairman of the Board. And beyond. Musicians in every genre will continue to cover this unreal tune composed 80 years ago.

A few of them below. I do like the Willie versions.  It did not appear on his historic album Stardust, although I though it did until I looked it up. Stardust/Nelson is amazing.

The Sarah Vaughn version is haunting. Miles Davis is great and the Summertime cover is no different. The Herbie Mann Album @ the Village Gate is unreal. And the cover is fantastic too!

We couldn’t say it better ourselves. A film supporting the Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act.

It truly is a special place. The entire drainage. Love seeing our friend Stefan Larrson in this short. Love seeing the beauty of the Blackfoot. We love the smell of the westside. The fishing. The feeling. The entire package.

Check out more @ www.blackfootclearwater.org

We fish across the divide as often as we can get over there. It is just fabulous. Check in with Headhunters if you want to head over to the westside. Mark, John, Brett, Ben, Braden are all interested in helping you discover the Blackfoot.

Sign a letter of support if you want to your kids and their kids to enjoy the Blackfoot River for generations to come!

More snow in the canyon this morning. 6F and another 4 inches last night and this morning. Snowing now. Gonna snow-blow at the shop so we can get around!

Rarely see as much snow on the ground as we have now. It keeps coming. But the amount of snow here and the snow that we have in the mountains are two different things. We want more in the mountains. Here in Craig at 3400′ it really does not make an impact on our summer flows. At all. But it does show that winter and snow accumulation is indeed happening.

Long weekend. Watch conservation videos. Tie flies. Nap. Clean your fly lines. Organize fly boxes. Shovel snow.

Headhunters closing early Sunday for a bowling affair about 1pm.
