Stan Hodges made the long trip across the U.S. from Virginia yet another time to see his son out in Bozeman, and he found the time to make it over to the ranch. The caddis hatch was in full swing and he hit it just right!!! Stan HAMMERED huge browns hole after hole………it was a marathon!!!

This is quite a fish!!! Dave Thompson, avid fly fisherman from Bozeman, caught this beautiful Brown Trout on the Smith River. Dave is a regular on the Smith when he can get away from his busy office at Brickhouse Creative in Bozeman. Every now and then he finds a day where he can sneak away and make the short drive over to catch fish like this one. We thank Dave for sending us this great photo and also, take a listen to Dave’s cd that is nationally acclaimed to the fishing industry – - Fishing Music!!!!!
