If anyone has a chance to make it to this tourny, you won't be disappointed. It's First Class! Each year it get's better and better, last year the only hang up was the little rainstorm that blew through during the rules meeting. As soon as the meeting was over it quit raining and the weather couldn't have been better. This year we plan on having a giant tarp to cover the crowd. There's great access all along the river and If your from out of town, I'm sure BigSky wouldn't have a problem taking you out and showing you around the river. There's actually quite a bit of room to roam for boat or shore anglers. Most of the shore anglers will fish between Nashua and Vandalia, and that leaves plenty of wide open area for the boaters. Above Vandalia to Saco is easily fished with a prop boat and there's plenty of river miles for jet boaters from the mouth of the milk(where it dumps into the missouri river) to Nashua. If anyone has questions just ask and Big Sky, Myself, or Big Cat Dad can answer.

Pretty cool article in the Billings Gazette

Here is a great Milk River article written by our local Fish & Game Biologist Dave Fuller. Dave is a Milk River Cat Classic participant and was also fortunate enough to win the "Big Fish" award with a tournament record Catfish over 12 pounds last year.

Wishing it was not soo far with the gas prices.. I would love to come and give it a go.

[BigSkyCatMan]

It should be a blast for all those involved this year. We have 52 teams signed up, with just a few days left go!! In the meantime Rusty, you might have to think about making a trip over to Montana sometime in the future when the gas prices calm down. We could set you up on some untapped cat waters over here. (It could be a little River Pro celebration!)

Bigsky, You did get in the Cat's this year? I was thinking you did but was not sure. If so, there will be two RPs on the Red them days.

Rusty, Big Sky (my brother) did not get into the tournament this year (didn't win the lottery drawing). I (River Pro owner, the one you took for a ride last year at the Cats Incredible and have talked to on the phone a couple times in the last couple months) did make the tournament. I will be down there early in the week prefishing. Lets hook up....Team Riverpro Baby!
