Get'n Jiggy Wid' it...

Big Sky · Oct 29, 2014

Tried a little fishing out in western Montana near Missoula yesterday evening. For the most part I used jigs and had good success. I was only able to fish for a couple hours before I had to get on the road and head home, but I still landed about a dozen fish or more. I really can't complain.

This was the average size of most of the fish.

Here's one that was quite a bit above the average.

Here's one that was a step or two above that.

Caught him on a Panther Martin because the hole he was in was too shallow and full of moss. Couldn't effectively use a jig in it or I would have.

You are doing very well for a "beginner" fisherman.

Looks fun. I sure miss the fall trout fishing. The walleye will have to do.

Good Stuff Big Sky!! Keep 'em Rolling this fall. Fishing has been pretty good out this way this fall.

Yer killing me.

You should be using a 5 wt fly rod and popping streamers against those banks for fall browns.

Nice fish!

According to your signature line, you're doing it right. Great looking fish.

Ben, I was thinking the same thing, a fly pole with a black woolly bugger.... :hump:

Nice fish!

One of the hardest things I do in Montana is lay down my rifle and pick up a fishing pole during October and November. However I don't always forgo the rifle. I expect something will hit the ground before the big game seasons end. It's great to live in a state where one has to make tough decisions of whether to go hunting or fishing and know that either will be fantastic!

that's why I always have a rod n' reel in the truck even during hunting season, never no when you'll find a good spot. great lookin fish, congrats!
