Ice out fishing

In the spring when the ice starts to melt off the lakes some very large fish are to be caught. It can be a bit cold and miserable but the rewards are worth it. Western Montana and Southern British Columbia is a good choice. Call me anytime for information and get the great Water Strider, the best.

The NZ Mouse

The South Island of New Zealand has a huge amount of mice on some years, this was one of them. This is an experience that you will never regret. The Water Strider will get you out to where this big guys cruse feeding at night.

Rough Water

The Water Strider is designed to get you there and back. As you can see from David lambroughton's picture we can sure run the rapids. It is a must to wear a life vest and have everything tied down securely first. You will also have to have good river knowledge to float rapids like this one. David and his friends use Water Striders and float rivers all over. This type of water is for advanced Water Strider owners for sure.

Lake fishing

When the rivers are out due to runoff it is time to start lake fishing. My Water Strider is perfect to fish with and will get you into places with little or no access. Finding a place to park along the lake side roads are sometimes a problem. With a Water Strider it is easy to pack it and access water where most people can't get to. From ice out to freeze up the lakes are a real joy to experience. Give me a call if you need any advise. 406 375-0251

Ice out Lake Fishing

When the runoff starts and the rivers are high and not fishable it is time to fish the lakes when the ice starts to melt. This fishing will surprise you with the quality and numbers of fish close to the shore line. Timing is very important because as the ice melts which is very rapid the fish move out to deeper water.

South Island Brown Trout

This is Dave Longanecker from California with a very nice Brown Trout caught and released (of coarse) . Fishing down under is really a different experience for the Angler. Wading and casting for fish in fishy water is pretty much a waste of time. It is really a two man operation. Walk the bank and go up stream until a fish is sighted and then have one Angler sneak up the bank to be closer to the fish to help present the fly to the fish. The caster must be able to cast up stream and make a presentation that is not lining the fish. Wading down stream and casting to fish just dosen't work. The fish smell you in the water and spook. This may sound funny and be something hard to believe but it sure works as you can tell by looking at Dave's fish.
