Kinni Hooker on Rock Creek in Montana

Posted: under Fly Fishing, Kayak the Kinni ~ Floating the Kinni ~ Paddle the Kinni ~ Kayaking the Kinni~Kinni Dipping ©, Kinni Hookers.

Fellow Hookers,
Weather has turned cold here in Montana with temps below freezing at night and highs in the low 50s during the day. Saving grace is the clouds that bring nice BWO hatches in the afternoon.
Not many clients anymore and getting ready to close up shop. This means time for guides to go fishing! Checked out a place called Rock Creek yesterday and caught some nice cutthroats in the 16″ – 18″ range on BWO emergers & pheasant tail nymphs. Wade fishing; nice change from boat fishing all season.
I will be going to a family reunion in Myrtle Beach, NC this whole next week, then coming back here for a couple weeks to winterize the lodge and close up shop. Then I should be back in Wisconsin and looking forward to catching up with my fellow hookers. Thinking some fly tying parties are in order!
I have attached some pic’s of some of my most recent exploits, but for a more detailed account I invite all the hookers to find me on facebook. here, I have a photo album entitled “Sheila’s Big Montana Adventure”. I update on a regular basis.

See you all soon!
Sheila

Fishin’ in Montana

Sheila Meisel on the Bitterroot in Montana


Paige,
Tell Twink that it’s the ultimate in “zen” catch n’ release!

I have been busy as usual here in Montana.
Fishing on the Clark Fork has slowed down considerably as the weather is much warmer than usual. It’s a guessing game all day as to what they are taking, if anything at all. But we still manage to boat many fish each day here at Clark Fork River Outfitters.
I’ve been fishing & rowing with other guides & outfitters all week on new sections of the Clark Fork and spent two days on the Bitterroot. Fishing on the Bitterroot is off the hook with all fish being boated in the 17″ – 20″ range and all big fatties! Caught one on Thursday that spit out another fish he was eating as I pulled him to the surface. What hogs!
Both the Clark Fork & Bitterroot are doing well still on hoppers & turk’s turantula’s during the heat of the day. Morning & evening we’ve been doing well on Quigley’s Cripple, Purple Haze, Large Caddis Patterns & as always the Royal Wolfe.
First student arrived for the fall guide school. Let the abuse begin! Ha Ha Ha (evil laugh)

Pictures attached of my most recent exploits.

tight lines fellow hookers,
Sheila Meisel

Kinni Hookers Sept. 10th, 2009

Posted: under Fly Fishing, Kayak the Kinni ~ Floating the Kinni ~ Paddle the Kinni ~ Kayaking the Kinni~Kinni Dipping ©, Kinni Hookers.

The hookers gathered last night and had a great time. Lisa played with learning knots, Twink fly selection, and we all learned how to cast in the dark! Twink also had a lesson in falling in the river with her waders on. This gave us a whole new perspective on floating the Kinni! A good lesson learned with a campfire just steps away!

From Carrie: I have not made a meeting yet, but I do plan on coming tonight or next thursday… work is kicking my butt. However, I do have photos from fishing with my dad in AZ in March on the Salt River. Thanks Carrie Jacobson

From Sheila:
paige,
This hooker is still in Montana guiding. Have managed two days off in the past month. One day I checked out a high mountain lake in a kick boat for some brookies.
Today I went on a fishing excursion to fish the north fork of the blackfoot. River Runs Through it!
Hike in at least a mile, lots of boulder hopping. This is bull trout land; didn’t fish for those of course as it’s a big no no but i did see some in the river. at least 30″ fish, spawning i believe. fishing was really hard, no significant hatches to speak of and hit and miss on strikes. I was not able to land any of the 5 that hit my fly. I think they were bulls so probably a good thing.

Guided a client into a 20″ rainbow three days ago.
Getting proficient at rowing drift boats.
Gave some casting lessons to some novices from Spokane.
Got down in the 30s last couple of night, colors starting to change.
Fishing on the Clark Fork has been excellent; all big fish coming out the past 2 weeks, all on dries! what a great time of year when you can get big trout to come to the surface. Big PMD’s, very small adams. Starting to see some mahogany dunns.
have fun guys!
