Do you believe in stream access?

Excellent news was handed down from the Montana Supreme Court on Monday, as they ruled that the embattled Mitchell Slough is in fact a natural waterway (albeit altered by irrigators) and the public has the right to fish within the high-water mark. In 2006, a Montana district court judge ruled that it was no longer a natural waterway since years of irrigation work had been done on it.

A huge thank you to the Bitterroot Valley folks who fought hard for this right. Anglers worldwide will benefit from the precedents that these stream-access rulings set.

Huey Lewis and Charles Schwab (et al) will now have to follow the same rules the rest of Montana's riverside landowners follow. Closed circuit to Lewis/Schwab et al: Not sayin'/just sayin', but Colorado's stream access law is much more accomodating to your beliefs/attitudes/values.

Still pluggin away ...

... on our upcoming releases. Currently we are making maps for the Flyfisher's Guide to the Northeast Coast: Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. We're most of the way done on the Flyfisher's Guide to the Texas Coast, and we will soon begin the Flyfisher's Guide to Salmon and Steelhead, Northern California.
It really makes me want to give saltwater fly rodding a shot. Someday .... in the mean time I'll just have to settle for the rivers of Montana.

Late season

Seems like everything is a couple/three weeks behind, fishing wise this year. That might explain why the browns haven't started chasing streamers very much yet. But good things come to those who wait, so anglers shall be rewarded shortly. This weekend is supposed to have highs in the 40s and snow/rain - I am starting to shake just thinking about it. Should be good, unless the weather forecasters keep playing jokes on me. Baetis, zonkers and buggers will be the flies du jour. Here's to the fall.

River maps

We are finishing up flyfishing river maps for the Upper Sac, Hot Creek, Hat Creek, Owens River, Klamath River, Green River (Utah), White River (Arkansas), and more. Check 'em out at http://store.wildadvpress.com.
