Annie today with a nice Rainbow caught not he Mighty Mo with HH Guide Mark Raisler

Her husband Sam caught some too!

A scorcher today with dry fly fishing for Trico feeders for about 2 hours. Longer in some areas.

Thunderstorms building as I frantically write this late afternoon Hump Day post.

Some weeds in the river but not as bad as previous years. Honest.

Some more caddis around than the previous week. Trico’s strong. PMD spinner falls still quite impressive and the trout are responding.

Give us a shout if you want your gal on this website.

Hope you folks are having a fantastic summer out there in the world somewhere.

We are. Annie is too. Nice work today Annie on her first guided trip to the Mo. They say more next year!

We look forward to it!

 

 

Richardson Chest Fly Box

New Breed Chicks. Richardson Edition.

Renee Faltings shows off her sick PMD inventory. Renee is from the Ketchum/Hailey, ID area, and all the cool kids there rock a Richardson Chest Box. They always have. Many moons ago I was a guide on Silver Creek and had one myself. I did not, however, paint my toenails blue. It was the 80’s, and I painted them teal or purple.

Interested in one? It takes quite a while to get your build from Richardson, or you could call Renee’s buddies at Silver Creek Outfitters and see if they have any in stock. They sometimes do.

New Breed Chicks Rule Raining Cats and Dogs Edition

New Breed Chicks Rule Raining Cats and Dogs Edition

A submission from our friend Stephen Caldwell and his wife Torrey from the rainy Mo this last week.

It is sunny now and we aim to keep it that way for a while.

Here is the short note that Stephen sent along.

Mark,

Maybe this is worthy for a New Breed Chicks Rule? My wife Torrey Caldwell told me she’s had enough of those rainbows that she was consistently pulling out of the water all day, she said I want a bigger brown.
So we started fishing “brownie” like water and she popped the hook on 3 very nice ones prior to this one. She was very happy with this one, she picked it off out of a pod of rising fish with a small sz 18 caddis dry in the middle of a rain storm.
Not too many chicks out there are sniping browns off out of a drift boat during a downpour with a smile on there face like that, and the ones that are we need to make sure to not take for granted because they are awesome.
Thanks,

-Stephen Caldwell

Diane and Leonard visit quite often from Spokane Washington. Just a stones throw really.

Why wouldn’t you travel for trout like this one, and that one.

They were recently here for the annual couples weekend and caught a few of these specimens.

Here is the note from Len…

Hi Mark.  We had a great trip, as we always do.  We not only enjoy the fine fishing, but the entire staff at Headhunters.  I appreciate how informative everyone is.  It enhances our experience.  Thanks again.

New Breed Chicks Rule & Future FlyFishers

Mothers Day, New Breed Chicks Rule, & Future FlyFishers

Both today on the Headhunters Fly Fishing Blog.

Our good friend Preston Moon sent us this image and this short below.

HH staff,

Here are a few pics of my new breed chick Katrina Moon! We took out the PHW hide on the 8th with our two kiddos, Emelia at 9 months and Colton at 2 years old. Beautiful day, even had a few fish to hand between wolf and Craig!

The little guy only threw one fly rod into the water, not bad. Just wanted to say thanks for hosting the PHW boats and being the friendliest fly shop in Craig!

-Preston

Happy Mothers Day as well. None of us could be here without our Mothers. None.

Celebrate your Mother today. Call her, chat with her, celebrate her.

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers from us here in cozy Craig Montana.

Stephanie straight outta Montana’s Capitol City Helena with here 1st trout on a fly rod.

She often rows her husband Jerry down the river as he fishes here on the Missouri River.

I think Jerry may be rowing more than he thinks in the future with Stephanie’s recent found love of fly rodding for trout.

Sally rocks. She rules too.

She can throw a dry with the best of them. And does often. She even lets her husband Chuck sit in the back, most of the time.

HH Guide Jared got her in position to hook this nice Brown Trout on a Skwala.

Nice Work Sally!

We will probably see her here on this very fishy blog again someday. They visit Craig often…
