Trip to Bozeman area in mid October
 

We are thinking of making a 4 day weekend trip.
I know it will be cold - probably.
( its my b'day weekend )

I do want to get a taste of a big city again and see a movie or 2 so we will
stay in the city - downtown one night -
But we also want to fish and get out of the city

Does anyone have any suggestions on rivers to fish , places to see, places
to stay & places to eat?

We will be coming in from up North.

Thanks
Fred

Bozeman, as in Bozeman, Montana equals "big city" ?!?

The Gallatin fishes well year round and last time I was there
the Cafe Internationale was the best restaurant in Bozeman.

It is the big city to me...now.
At least it the biggest city I want to see again.
We live fairly rural.

Isn't the Gibson guitar factory there- or it was before they moved to TN?

Thanks for you advice.

Bozeman's highlight is the Bozone Brewery on North Broadway,
near the railroad tracks......northeast corner of town.
Don't miss the Bozone Pale Ale, Double Red and Wee Nip.

Until the MT clave last year, I hadn't been in Bozeman since, oh, I
guess 1993 or so. It's grown a LOT since then. Got lost more than
once, navigating from memory. The traffic on the north side of town
over by the River's Edge was awful.

Bozeman, BTW, has an interesting population age structu

Good thing the guys 20 to 30 years old can go fishing..... ;)

gibson has a small operation in bozeman, where much of their high end
stuff is produced.
truth is, the gibson offshore product, marketed under the "epiphone"
trade mark, is noticeably superior to their american models.

Funny to hear you say that. Whenever I tell people that I have an
Epi copy of the SG, they just scoff. I just smile to myself and think
of how much I saved on it versus a "real" Gibson.

someday and get it all re-strung and fixed up)

I have a vintage Gibson L4 and it is great- some sound!
It was made in the US a long time ago - but I'm certain that things have
changed.

my earlier observation was based upon my playing of the recent
"masterbilt" line of acoustics marketed under the epi name, chuck. i can't
vouch for anything else. still, my son, who is very knowledgeable
concerning electrics, alleges that the epi copies of gibson's legendary "les
paul" models are very good.

The Epi SG is a heck of a bargain, IMHO. But gearheads probably
would have little use for it (plus there's that old "buy Amurrcan" thing).

Actually, gearheads probably have little use for the original SG,
come to think of it. :-) I liked its fat, chunky sound and the fact
that it's got a neck like the business end of a baseball bat (I could
never handle the skinny necks on Strats, etc.)
