HERE's THE REQUEST FOR HELP: If she is able, I would like for her to
experience a flyfishing float trip out there. She has expressed
interest. I only know Warren, John H., and Brian N. as folks capable in
such matters in Montana. If she happens to be in your area, and if I
pick up the cost, can one of you guys provide the guided trip or
recommend someone? It's still up in the air as her condition
deteriorates and as her plans out west gel, but I'd like to do this for
her if possible. Thanks...


Brian N is an outfitter and can be reached at www.diamondnoutfitters.com

I'm just a dope with a boat- If she wants to float and she's in the area I'd
do my best - but I'm not a guide nor an outfitter ( I can't emphasize that
enough!). I don't spend near as much time on the water as the local guides
do, so we would be pretty much guessing as to what is fishing and what isn't
on any given day. I'm also not much of a coach- if she needs "coaching", no
CPR training, insurance, - yada yada yada.

Can't speak for Warren.

If Brian is unavailable, I'd check with John Herzer at Blackfoot River
outfitters (www.bentrods.com) for Missoula area fishing.

This, sadly, seems like a once in a lifetime deal. My advice would be to go
for a real guide with very good references if she really wants a good day of
flyfishing. If she justs wants a nice day on the river with a friend- bring
the friend & lets go.
