So after taking a short trip to Kalispell, Whitefish and glacier national park, my wife and I decided its time for a change. We both fell in love with Montana and we will be relocating there, hopefully before next winter. We met so many awesome friendly helpful people during our visit. The scenery is straight out of a Hollywood movie, awe inspiring to say the least!  I don't think there's a better place to live the 2nd half of our lives! I hope to meet some of you great anglers and learn about the ins and outs of Montana fishing. I'm really looking forward to fishing and hiking this phenomenal state. So thank you for being exactly what we were looking for! Have a great day ,Keith.  :tipup:

Thank you! Appreciated! Relocating will be a tad easier with my brother in law already living in Kalispell. I believe we are coming back at the end of July to start the process. If you head over to the Massachusetts page, I posted some pictures and a story of our frozen hell ride from Ohio to Mass in a blizzard.

Most of my fishing last summer was night fishing top water for bass. I'm not a fan of the humid sunny days. Also tossing 10" worms for bass on the not so humid sunny days. When it comes to ice fishing, dawn to dusk, any conditions. I'm looking forward to trying to catch the variety of species out that way 👍.  I'll be sure to pm you when we get settled, thank you!

Montana is inheriting a great fisherman and a good friend. When he says dawn to dusk ,he truly means it. Gonna miss your company but I am happy that you are going to experience some new adventures. Tight lines, my friend.
Get off the fence and protect your rights!

our two seasons....smoke and snow....its time to strt removing fuels from our forests. I love how the so called "enviromentalists" litigate every timber sale to prevent them from happening and then those forests that were meant to be managed then burn to the ground and are only usable by birds and small mammals...
