Well, I'm a day later than I promised...I got caught up in the activity of taking down Christmas decorations and forgot to make it back to my office. I'm sorry about that! So, a bit of history before I share our news. I'm not sure if many of you know the history of Grizzly Hackle [...]
It's 2017...seems like just yesterday that everyone was worried about Y2K, and life as we know it coming to a halt. How many people bought non-perishable food stored in buckets and still have it stored in their bomb shelter? How many were ready for the power grid to go down, and we were all going [...]
We've still got snow in the Rock Creek Valley, but it is down to about 6 inches from 13 inches just 2 weeks ago. It's hard to believe...we should be in the throes of winter, but instead the snow is melting and the ground is thawing. Unlike last year though, the nights are still below [...]
You know you're getting old when you look at significant events and think 'was it really that long ago?' I had that thought recently, remembering back to the great fear and almost frenzy that surrounded Y2K...so many horrible, awful things were SUPPOSED to happen when the clock slid past midnight, to 12:01 AM 1/1/2000. But, [...]
Please join us Saturday, December 19, from 5 - 9 PM for an evening of fellowship and good cheer at our 7th Annual Rock Creek Trout Bums Christmas Campfire. We'll provide the chili and corn bread...please bring a side dish to share and your own adult beverage. Please RSVP so I know how much chili [...]
I know, I know...what in the world kind of title is that? Well, I've got alot to catch you up on so I may as well be wordy about it. First, I'm sorry to be so lame in keeping this blog updated. To be honest the invention of Facebook as really taken a toll on [...]
January 29...and though we're only a little better than a month into 'official' winter, we're longing for springtime and an end to the ice. We shuffle around like Artie Johnson, hoping we can get from one building to the next without falling on our keester...even Molly treads slowly and with caution. It's been pretty mild [...]
It's 4 PM Monday, May 5...normal streamflow for this date is right about 900 cfs, actual is 2,340 cfs. The creek is muddy, the Clark Fork is muddy, and the Blackfoot is muddy. If you're thinking about fishing, perhaps a better idea would be to get your spring work done so you're ready when the [...]
Howdy from the creek...fishing has been stellar. Yep, I said it and now it'll probably get stinky...but yesterday's report was from smiling faces that landed over 50 fish, and I'm not talking from a boat! March Browns have finally decided to make an appearance, and skwalla showed up for the party too. It was [...]
Yep, it really is here...after a whole lot of teasing, spring has made its official appearance at Rock Creek, and we all feel like dancing a jig. Although the first half of December was pretty brutal with below zero temps, and a foot of snow, the rest of December and January were pretty mild. Then [...]
