Thass what i figgered.....but hadda be sure..... ;) PM on the way........ :D

My second biggest Trout ever was a Cuttbow on Armstrong's Spring Creek in Paradise Valley, Montana.....25 and half inches. BEST fight any Trout has ever given me.....saw my backing 6 times, and he musta jumped 10 times. It was UNREAL! Right in the long riffle/run, right almost in front of where that shed is, where the lunch tables are.
UNforgettable..........just like Nat & Natalie. 8-)

The fish are still pounding the Muskrat.
This was my first float of the year. Discovered a leak in my waders, but still had a blast!

The elk have moved to the river bottom. Saw one 360 class bull but couldnt get a pic.

I have a couple questions about your raft. Is the bottom of the raft open at the front? In two of the pictures it looks like you are standing up. I am wondering if you can stand in the front of the raft. What model Kodiak raft is that? Looks like a nice set-up.

Nevermind - I found it. I think it is called a "Water Master Grizzly". That looks like an awesome rig.

Check out the video at the bottom of this page.

It is a very awesome rig. The Grizzly and Kodiak are model names. I have the Kodiak. It is approx. 18 inches longer in the back than the Grizzly. This makes for quite a bit more storage capability.

Dubbin, Howdy;

Nice lookin' rig. Those folks have a nice website.

The top l/h photo on the home page reminds me of how I was taught to swim (tender age of 4),
just swap out the dog for me ..................... :lol:
