fishing

Veteran's Day is Tuesday and Cabela's is honoring those who have sacrificed so much for us this weekend at the Missoula store, with a Hometown Heroes Celebration.

Missoula's Cabela’s store, the World’s Foremost Outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, has announced plans to team up with the National Rifle Association to host an in-store NRA Weekend event at their new location at 3650 Brooks (former KMart location.)

Montana's hunting and fishing can't be beat--so show us your best hunting and fishing photo and you might win a $700 gift card to Cabela's. That's right--a $700 gift card!

My boss is not from Montana, he lives in the big city of Portland. Every time I talk to him he asks me what I’m up to here in beautiful Montana. I’m always telling him hunting and fishing stories, most of which he finds humorous. He also is amazed at some of the things we Montanans do that his employees in other states wouldn’t dream of doing.

Montana Trout Unlimited will host a 'Missoula on Tap' presentation on Tuesday evening, June 24 at their office in the Florence Building, downtown Missoula.

There are some unique things about living in Montana that you just don’t have living anywhere else. I should know, after all, I have left Montana once or twice. You can trust me when I tell you there is no place on earth like it. That is why every time I have left Montana, I’ve always chosen to come back (usually as quickly as I could).

"I am THE Living Natural Man and my voice will be heard," said Ernie Tertegte, of Montana, who was brought to court for charges of fishing without a license and resisting arrest. It is quite obvious that this mountain man is set in his own ways and doesn't exactly subscribe to the laws of the land. Tertegte claimed he had the right to fish based on "natural law".

Just because the weather gets a little colder soon, doesn’t mean that Missoula and Western Montana close the blinds and hibernate for the winter. In fact, the opposite is true. There is just as much to enjoy about our fair city when the snow flies, as when the sun shines 20 hours a day...

Did you know that just a few miles west of Missoula sits a whitewater rafters dream? Yes, the Alberton Gorge is home to class II and class III rapids. This stretch of whitewater boasts five major rapids, and numerous smaller rapids. Not only is this a whitewater lover’s dream, it is just plain fun for anyone.

Rain soaked many who set out to start the 2013 Montana fishing season, but that did not deter thousands of men, women and children who set out to fish the state's lakes, rivers and streams.

This past weekend, Missoula was host to the Orvis Guide Rendezvous Show. This show included both Montana-based companies and companies based outside of Montana, all of which cater to fly fishing in some aspect or another. Pretty much any and every kind of company that can be associated with fly fishing was there, from raft frame makers to cooler manufacturers and drift boat manufacturers to anchor

As I have mentioned before, my husband is an ex-fly fishing guide. So, whenever I want any information on this subject, I go straight to him. It also helps that he seems to have an unhealthy obsession with fly fishing. We often joke about this, as certain times of the year I find myself a fishing widow. Of course these times coincide with the numerous fly hatches.
