I'm in Great Falls, as I type this, finishing up my wife's visit and our
trip
into Canada. She flies out of here tomorrow.

I'll head back to the Greater Yellowstone area after she leaves.

It's is very HOT here and I'm hoping that back at Last Chance things are
better. If not, don't plan on much but first and last light and chuck and
duck. I hope for all our sakes that it cools down and wants to rain daily.

Enjoy your trip.

Oh, I called some friends there today and was told to bring my fire fighting
gear with me, apparently they have fires now in the West Yellowstone area
... plan on breathing smoke :-(( ....... fishing report was
so/so......... and, yes it's unusually hot in the West/Last Chance area
:-( not intended to discourage, just inform







just got a note from charlie choc...he sent a link that reports the fire
is over on the south side of hebgen around madison arm... 3000+ acres
involved.

there are a couple of places that remain relatively cool despite the hot
temps of the day...but even at its warmest, montana remains a cool place
to visit. i recall the rock creek trip's daytime temps of 105-110F...

hope to see you during the visit larry.
