Double Spey – River Right Video

Hump Day on the Mighty Mo. Check out the video.

Perfect fishing weather out there. Overcast and cool. Sometimes even calm.

Good swinging too. Come on by to talk trout spey at Headhunters of Craig.

If you are not busy tossing dry flies at rising October trout you could very well be casting lasers out there swinging softies.

Your choice.

Take the rest of the week off and head on over to the Mo.

The last day of Zeptember

Heading out of a strong Zep-tember in style.

This is the official film video of the Immigrant Song 1972. Produced by the band. Raw rock and roll. The way Page gets after it in the latter half of the song is pretty rad. That guy must have sold his soul. They always claim it was Plant. But we all know Page went deep.

Snowed Saturday night. Not a lot. But snow. Sleet really.

We are damn excited to move into the 10th month. October is great.

Should have a fantastic BWO event this year. All the indications are pointing that direction.

We will have to wait and see. But, don’t wait to book your fall trip to the Mo.

Operators standing by. Dancing really. Rocking out to The Immigrant Song by the Greatest Rock and Roll Band of All-Time.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlNhD0oS5pk” video_title=”1″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Blackfoot River: Always Worth The Trip Video

While the Missouri River is on fire, not the flame kind, but the fishing kind…we always have the Blackfoot River on our mind.

Freestones. Love ’em. Big flies. Cutthroats. Westside of the Divide. The smell of Pine Trees.

All good things.

Watch this re-run today and dream of small streams along with the babbling sound of water.  Ten book your Blackfoot River trip with Headhunters.

Couple it with a day or three on the Mighty Mo and you tell have a great Autumn trip planned.

September is a great month to fish the Blackfoot. No people, hungry cutty’s, large mayflies, fall colors.

Close your eyes and dream of the feel of a raft seat…and shrieking eagles.

Happy Friday.
