    I Rarely Fish Weekends………..

    Yes, slowly dropping. We’ve had about a week of much cooler nights. Should be optimal in a couple weeks, then things should really get going.

    I Rarely Fish Weekends………..

    ….but glad I did. I finished my chores today around 11am and didn’t have any plans for the day. Checked the wind report (light until 2pm) and that familiar voice in my head said, “Go fish you crazy old man, what the hell else do you have to do!” So I packed up the boat and hit the local C&R...

    Cows were lying down....

    I pass a fair amount of cattle on the way to just about everywhere I fish. I’ve never heard of the “cows laying down thing” but I’m definitely going to start making a mental note ( maybe even keep a log sheet). At the very least, start using as an excuse when I get skunked! 😆

    "Ice water" Lake, 11 August 2025

    Excellent report and pictures. Catching fish, especially on dries in a lake, can make up for a lot of “surface noise”!

    Retrieving balanced leeches in still water

    I tried fishing naked once, it just seemed to scare the fish away. On the plus side, no one came close and tried to steal my spot. 😆

    Prowler Float Tube

    To answer the original question: I don’t have any experience with the Prowler, but have a lot with various other Outcast boats. I believe you can’t go wrong with the bigger boat. It’s obviously a bit more robust (25+ days! 😁) and if you are a bigger guy you will be more comfortable. I wish I...

    Prowler Float Tube

    Heck, during spring and fall, I’ll put in 25 days a month! 😆 I noticed that same “selling point” when I was looking into the Cruzer line. They make a Cruzer Max that’s bigger, supports more weight and was touted “over 25 days a year” type boat. I ended up with the smaller version as it was the...

    Most likely, I can check on Monday if they still do parcel post or something like that.

    The Hang

    If the definition of “the hang” is fishing a vertical leech on a full sink line, letting it just hang. That has been effective for me also. I usually do it while eating lunch or drinking a beer. 😆

    Small Stillwater Opportunities in Montana

    Might be a bit out of your way depending on where your final destination is, but Georgetown Lake has a great campground and fishing access in the southwest corner. Just off the camp area the water drops into around 6-15’ and the fishing has been stellar for me. Edit: southeast corner
