Bighorn Boys

I planned to rendezvous with three of my old high school teachers and one of their sons on the Bighorn River in southern Montana. Little did I know that the next three days would host some of the best fishing I've experienced this season.

Everyday produced rainbow and brown trout that averaged in size from 14 to 20 inches in length. I often found myself having to borrow my colleagues' landing nets, as I over confidently left mine at home.

The memory of the fish I caught on this trip will soon be overlapped by more recent angling success back at home. However, the memory of the five of us sitting around at day's end as we watched the sun go down over the Montana horizon can only be duplicated once a year.

See you again next year boys.
