SW MT
Countess of the Creeks - Flyfishing SW MT one blue line at a time!

Pet lover. I also sew a lot. 🌈
I have been at training for two weeks and graduated yesterday. While I am technically still certified as LE, I am not an active officer. I do work as a 911 dispatcher now, and received my certification.

I also received an award.

I'm proud of myself.

We got some mini bricks for Christmas and I've been exhausted from a wild schedule and environment change for training. Instead of Tiktok, Facebook, and Instagram, I put together the rainbow trout. He cute. #rainbowtrout #trout

Incredible frozen web we stumbled on last weekend. Not sure if it's spider or a moth or webworm?

German Gulch a few days ago. We took a nice walk in light rain. Noticed many little fishes in the creeks. Saw some little critters and some deer. #montana #swmontana

Catch of the day. Idk what is going on. First money, now a drone? Also a roll of marker tape (in the creek?) that says "SPOT FIRE".

We're working on finding the owner.

A little creek action yesterday. Napped in our hammocks for a bit, watched some folks fish through while we rested. Didn't get as hot as they were thinking and we even got a nice rain shower. #flyfishing #montana #womenwhoflyfish #dogsky

Not much happening around here this last few weeks; I've been working a lot. Enjoy a big-ass hatchery #cutthroat trout and my little woodland creature.

Creekin today on a new blue line, westslopes like crazy on the cinnamon hopper. We had some strong, beautiful fish on the hook today and enjoyed the shady 72° respite from the 88° in town. #flyfishing #montana

We ventured to a high alpine lake and threw big, stupid terrestrials at the brookies.

The Little Woodland Creature had a great time. #dogsofbluesky #dogsky #flyfishing #montana

Bailey was so antsy in her pantsy for the day to start. But she got to go do a bunch of awesome Little Woodland Creature stuff today. She got a little owly when we left the first lake and pouted til we got back onto gravel. She even got to stare at some cows.

Bailey fell into the water more than a few times. She forgot her creek creeping manners lol she got to see fifty new fish friends and roll in the grass. She fetched some pinecones, stood on some tall logs, looked at butterflies and moths, watched us fish, and smelled the world around her.

We traisped through cool, damp grass. The temp was around 70 and dropping. It was buggy and damp and the sun was 🤌The trees and valley, green of a million shades. The water was still crispy cool after the long warm day.

I sniped little brookies who hit the little gray dry I had on, with a splashy take and vigor only found above 8000ft.
