[turn_in_poachers]

Never knew there was a MT thread goin. So whos all from Montana? I use to live there for 17 years. Missoula Montana! Still some of the best, open, undisturbed country and awesome trout fishing. Hey to all the MT folks.

Seems like evry body born here has left and every body else has come to replace em!!!!

The old saying is true.....How do you make a SMALL fortune in Montana?

Start with a LARGE one....

The only people that can afford to live here are the ones who bring money with them...

[DrKen]

Ain' that the truth

[turn_in_poachers]

I can agree with mjhowe on that. Thats why I moved out in the first place. Id like to retire to Montana though. Minnesota has no mountains.

I spent 5 years at UM and if I learned anything there its that December in Montana can only mean one thing...Grizzly football!

I get back once a year and it's always the highlight of my year. You're a lucky man, mjhowe.

Hello from NE Montana. Westby in the wide open part No trees. It is blowing here at 40 plus MPH, and snowing. Make you wish you were back here? We had a good Hunting season, a lot of hunters. The Pheasant population is way down but good Grouse. and Deer. Better run for now. CAJ

Hey CAJ,

welsome to the forum! I was out at Nelson Res on Friday the 14th and then a week later, saturday the 21st. We did real well on Sat, lots of nice 10-12 inch perch and several eyes. We spent the week in between fishing devils lake ND and all around the Bemidji MN area, and we had the best action of the trip at 'lil ol' Nelson!!!

[CAJ]

To TjHOWE I like you have fished this end of the state to end up in Nelson Reservor to catch the best fish of all. It seems like I go to Fort Peck, and get blown clean off the Lake. Nelson has treated me the best. I hope to make another trip to Minnesota soon, to get in on the Crappie at Red lake, and a couple other lakes near Grand Rapids. If the son has a snowmobile running soon, will try a bunch of the small lakes in the Grand Rapids area. They have plenty of snow, so a plow or sled is needed. CAJ

I used to live up in Havre back in the 80's, on the old Hi-Line. Man, I miss the hunting the most. Good pheasant hunting along the Milk river valley, excellent duck/goose hunting north and west of town and some nice deer hunting to the south toward the Bears Paws. Fishing was pretty good too, I might add. Wish I could get back there to give it a go again one of these days!

[CAJ]

Goldencasey. I'm in the wide open part of NE Montana at Westby. It has been a pretty good Winter here without much snow. The Pheasants needed a break for a year to make a comeback. They had a tuff time for the last 4 years. The Deer numbers are pretty good. Coyotes are doing rather well to. Has been a few guys coming up here from North Dakota to try theere luck at calling them. As nice as it's been still looking forward to spring so I can get the boat out and do the sft water fishing. Most of the lakes here are so small, that it doesn't pay to try. CAJ

From the Twin Cities in Minnesota but went to college for 5 years at the University of Montana in Missoula, just left last spring, and now living back in the Cities. I just went back last weekend and was reminded of how great of a place it is. Absolutely beautiful, lots of trout, and great friends.

[rufishin]

How is the trout fishing and where are some good spots?

[CAJ]

From Lewistown and West are the best areas in Montana to fish for Trout. The eastern part of Montan doesn't have any Trout except for a few small ponds. Western Lakes like Flathead, and the bigger streams up there are very good. CAJ
