Fishing on the Madison River











Who ever would have thought that I would be floating down the river much less fishing!  Well we came to Montana to see Caitlin and Zach and this is their life.  This daughter of mine I raised in the city, who has dual Baccalaureate degrees in English and Spanish Literature and a Masters in Public Policy from the University of Chicago.  She now lives in a stunning part of the country and writes.  She spends her days looking at the biggest sky in the world and writing.  And fishing.....

Zach is a fishing guide and has led trips worldwide.  There is no one better to teach you than this young man.

We floated and fished 11 miles down the Madison.  I caught fish, held fish and then released them back.  Me!  I did this! So not my usual day.  

But this is vacation and Montana.  :)))

  4. You look great on the river! Fly fishing is so much fun and relaxing. My favorite part of the country...Madison River. Seems we have more in common, I too was raised in Chicago, though I always knew I was not a city girl and moved out west 40 years ago, have not looked back since.
