Leaving tomorrow for WC. Last call for orders for good food
transportation--anyone need grits- chittlings - or cracklens ?
Warren - where do Jeff and I fish Wed afternoon [3 to 6]? can you join us
on way home from work somewhere on Gallatin near to Bozeman airport?
Danial-please bring nippers strong enough to cut hooks out of body parts.
Wonder if charlie chocks wife is tired of eating in the same diner three
times a day for four days while they await delivery of a trailer axel from
Africa. With only one eating place in town I bet she is tired of chicken
fried steak and bet she does not accompany Mr. chock on another western
adventure!!!

Is madison warm enough for wet wading???

Are there any flathead indians around?? Would like to know where they
learned to let their squaws ride side saddle? { As seen in one of
Beirstadt's western art works.} As a point of interest--the female flatheads
birthed their young ones while squatting.

Jeff-i will be a Day's Inn by Raleigh airport Tues evening if you need me.

This old indian is PUMPED

Cool, see ya soon Joe.

Speaking of cool, the temps are likely to be MUCH cooler than last year.
Bring some warm stuff with, also raingear. Unless you're real tough, I
don't think the air temps and water temps of the Madison would be
conducive to wet wading. Some of the smaller waters will probably be OK.

"Flathead" refers to various tribes that bound the heads of infants to
make a flat shape. However, the Salish or Flathead of Western Montana
never practiced the custom.

IJ answers with relief--if i did not believe you i would not be planning to
attend. Hell it was 103* in camp ground, 107* in Massoula downtown when i
picked up jeff, and at least 122* on that damm float trip. Only time my
toenails got sunburned.
Please bring a couple extra of your little indicator thingees. I forgot how
the rubber band works but if i have to fish in the rain will probably be
going subsurface.

Any idea how they got that name-- perhaps L&Clark were speaking of their

If we seen any indians in a bar I will get Jeff to ask them-"-How did you

Yes, I do know. The the early traders adopted the local Indian
classification, which considered the prevailing compressed skull of the
neighboring tribes as pointed and the naturally shaped Salish skull by
contrast as flat.

I advise not doing that.

Yeah, I can direct you to several spots and meet up with you. I'll
drop you an email with directions, etc.

I don't think so, but you may be able to do it. I am a wuss when it
comes to wet wading.....

Glad to hear it. It is hard to believe that we are just a few days
out from the conclave. I still feel like it is weeks off and need
to get cracking on sending out an update from this past weekend.
Will send in the next couple of hours with a link to the pics.

The smaller waters may even be colder. The snow packs are
dwindling, but the Madison, Upper Yellowstone and Gallatin drainages
still have snow melting off. The smaller cricks may be a bit chilly
still.

BTW, good advice on rain gear and warm clothing. The daytime temps
are in the upper 70s to low 80s, but it drops to the upper 40s or
low to mid 50s at night. I spoke with Kelly at the Slide Inn over
the weekend and was in the shop when Harry Mason called to confirm
his reservations, etc. Kelly called Harry a Slide Inn "lifer" BTW.
Anyway, Kelly said they have had 41 consecutive days of moisture as
of Saturday. I am sure it is now 43 because we got hit pretty hard
last night and this morning here in Bozeman. The middle of the day
is nice and sunny, but thunderstorms roll through damn near every
afternoon here. Apparently the Madison Valley has been seeing quite
a bit of rain.

I'll explain more via email in an hour or two.

It was nice. The boys loved the ocean and the pool to escape from the heat.
Nice weather for the most part too. The sun was a bit strong from this old
Northern Boy, the skin got a bit toasty.


We made a lame attempt at going out on a charter ended up on a headboat.
Got some flounder, but after the rest of the family saw the Yellowtails on
the docks when we came back to Oregon Inlet, that wished they had listened
to me and shelled over a few more bucks. One of the guides had 17 of them,
all nice sized.

Sorry we couldn't cross paths myself, you offered, I just couldn't make it,
the schedule got full quickly and I still feel like we hardly did anything.

Finishing the pack tonight.
