Montana. Big Sky Country. Land of the Assiniboine, Blackfeet, the Sioux and Crow. Ed, Dave, Sam, and I joined my brother Tom and his son to fish the Madison and the Beaverhead rivers Thursday through Saturday. You never know what spring will throw at you in the Rockies and she tossed wind, snow, sleet and hail on us as we floated down the Madison Thursday and Friday and mixed in the occasional sun break. Despite the weather we had a blast and all caught fish. We saw bald eagles, golden eagles, sandhill cranes, whitetail deer, mule deer, geese, ducks, and a dead moose. The land was teeming with wildlife. I've always felt at home in Big Sky Country.
