I'm a novice and my family and I have an opportunity to go to Big
Sky,MT this August. Any suggestions on when would be better ie. early/

New York state. Since moving to Tennessee, I've hardly done any at
all and am probably very rusty.

Can't help at all with MT but there's some halfway decent trout
fishing in TN, if you're anywhere near or east of I-65 that is within
a few hours. If you're in the Memphis area, never mind.


Hey Wayne

I live in NashVegas. I know that the Caney Fork has decent fish. But
it's about 1.5 - 2.0 hours for me. And the rewards are only fair.
I've been really, really spoilt. When I lived in Rochester, a blue
ribbon stream was just about 30-45 mins away.

Hm......

Less than 3 1/2 hours from downtown Nashville to Maryville. Can't speak for
anyone else, but it would take a heap of spoiling for me to snub my nose at
the Smokies within reasonable striking distance for a weekend jaunt.

Plus I was kid-less then...

Kids. Don't have any. But if I did, I don't think I'd have much trouble
deciding whether to immerse them in Xbox or a clear mountain stream.

Anyway, good luck in Montana. If you don't fall in love with it you'll need
to do some serious reassessment regarding your chosen avocation.
