Beaver Head Montana

"Classic Tail Water," this guy named Dale keeps saying. We are staying at these little cabins at the Madison. This guy repeats "classic tail water" 15 times inside a 30 minute conversation. The Madison is not fishing that well anyhow, we don't have a drift boat, all the guides are booked up, and "classic tail water" right! Fat pig Browns, Rainbows and White Fish on a beautiful wooded river and there is a reason to keep saying "classic tail water!” My favorite aspect about this river is all the bends and turns, it creates amazing shelves to drop a nymph into. But it also has a lot of big rocks, creating fantastic pocket water. My cousin Paul came along on this trip, which is really his first time out with a fly rod. This really adds to my fun, watching him hook into some monster Browns. It’s September 2008. Also check out a pic of him on the Madison--he stashes extra stimmies in strange places.
